I agree that they're tackyon newer cars, but they look really good on old (re-built) Model T's and such.




...

NOS! coloured lights..dont know the technical terms but go watch 2f2f and you'll know what i mean

HEy Wj how about a mufler ???

give some extra sound to the car eh ??

and also what about some nice alloys ?

hmm yeah i agree to azn angels idea how about having some lights under the car that'll look cool

Slam it to the floor, Whack an induction kit on.  And a nice paint job with tinted windows

Glad to see some people know something about cars...

Not 14.4 mpg Thats my time on the drag strip.

Blade, I'll shoot a pict of it today if the weather clears up, I dont know if I have the old pict any more.

wellz i dunno much abt cars, basically i noe nuffin bout em, buh i do noe this, from experience hah, dun modify it sooo much that it looks like a massive hunk of rice. so modify it too look nice, and so that it actually goes somewhere wen u put ur foot down.

if u modify it soo much that it just looks like u spent 10grand on stupid lil things and the car isnt that much of a fast car, ur gonna get a lotta shit on the road.

u should put ur mind more to performance parts so u can get better times on the drag strip, like my dad did, hes got a '95 model R33 GTS-T Nissan Skyline, and it currently does 12.9's at the drags on a stock turbo, and thats all from spending weekends working on the performance, and buyin better performance parts.

buh in the end, its your car, if u want a good looking car that doesnt go anywhere, then go ahead, buh if u want a good looking car that doesnt look REALLY bad and goes somewhere then go ahead too, its ur car

lolz this coming from a lil girl tha doesnt know anything bout cars lolz

Actually, a lot of the 'for looks' parts DO increase performance.

Rims - Lighter rims means a faster quarter mile
Hood - A Lighter hood, or a hood with intake will help the engine perform better/lighten the car
Spoiler (wing) - Decreases drag and/or keps the rear end from hydroplaning
Body Kits - Decreases drag and wind res.
Fresh paint - prevents rust (if done well)
Tires - grips the road better/perform better
etc.


PS
WJ, taking off the massive spotlight might lighten it a bit
