have to disagree with you there, that car was one of if not still one of the best bang for your buck cars out at one point. I saw ads for those at one point going for less thank 20k new, v8, rwd, decent chassis, for less than 20k new? yikes.
in regards to the op -
This thread cracks me up, I'll never understand why people post on a public forum if they know they can't handle criticism, and then we're all supposed to back off because another forum filled with people who have similar taste approve of the op's car so that makes it okay for everyone I guess....pfffft, give me a break.
You could have the most ridiculously awesome-est car in the universe, and there's always going to be someone who will take a look at it and go..."man...that's the biggest pos I've ever seen". That's just how the world works, if you could hear and experience what I saw and heard over the last 2 years of aggressively showing and demo-ing my car all over the place you'd laugh at this thread, it's small potatoes compared to what really goes on out there, which includes 6 figure rides and full blown show cars that never see pavement getting picked apart by guys who roll in driving on 3 different wheels and primer covering over 90% of their ride. Just take it as it comes, have fun, do whatever you want to your car as it is after all...your car. Life's too short to get butt hurt over other people's opinions, just shine them and move on.

ugh, not even close, besides, with all the resources it takes just to build one of those hideous soul-less shitboxes it does far more damage to the environment than it can ever benefit by owning one, and the mileage is not that even that impressive anyway.

I hope to god the day doesn't come where all I have to choose from is walking or driving something like a prius as that just means I'll be wearing out shoes like nobody's business, I will never own that or a minivan in my lifetime...ever.

lol ok ok people, in broad daylight, if you saw my car go by you, you wouldnt say its rice, unless that was a natural thing for you to say if you saw really riced out integras wherever you live.
and just fyi, since I have red LED turn signals, 8 maniacs post set onto me after looking at my tails more and more and I realized that the orange turn signals turn red when they flash, so I switched my tails back
so if my car drove by you, the only thing different would be the rims.. which would be rotating, so you couldnt go off of just that making the whole car an ugly piece of ****
that being said, I'm 100% sure none of your negative comments made me butt hurt... I could care less. Did I make this thread to show it off thinking I'm the ****? Nope, just felt like it
Now if I had a 20b swapped rx8, yes, I would be showing that off
I'm on a budget right now, so the rims are staying. LEDs are staying. Everything is staying.. But "ricer green"? Seriously? Green is a color, just like red, blue, white.. I dont care if red is more subtle, I like green. Its not green underglow, its not a green paint job. Now those 2 things ARE tacky..
Anyways, I believe someone said they would paint it white?
LOL. What a waste of money to get a bland color like that. I'm not saying green or orange or pink, or any other tacky color is better.. The color it has now is gorgeous in the sunlight
I also recall someone saying along the lines that they "barfed when they saw my interior"? Please, PLEASE be more specific before you post. The interior is in great condition for its year, unless you're referring to the interior lighting.. Then again, think before you post
I dont care if you dont like it, I really dont. I'm not forcing you to look at it, and I'm not forcing you to like it. It is what it is, and its a lot more fun to drive than my rx8, mainly because its a manual.. At least I got a manual, best decision of my life
So there you have it, merry christmas
