He had at least two more spring manufacturers on the rear bumper along with a bunch of other stuff. Guy was giving me the evil eye as well.

It was rocking the single tailpipe and I don't think it was an HKS Hi-Power. I believe he had the sticker, though.

the veloster troubles me because its stock and its already wrong... i understand the mustang though, it all boils down to one sticker. the "hella" sticker. ITS HELLA stock!!! everything else is on his other ride, probably an escort... lmao

I dunno, the worst part is that he was trying to race every car that was even remotely sporty and I was in my GF's Mazda 3. He had all kinds of little turbo related stickers on it.

Isn't "GDI" a Mitsubishi term for Gasoline Direct Injection?

I think so. I know they did recently come out with a turbocharged Velociter though.

My neighbor has a bright orange veloster. In person it doesn't look bad, just really awkward. But then again my neighbor has the good sense of not slapping stickers everywhere and drives like a sensible person.
