Not to be rude in any way man but I don't think it matters in any way what we think about what others do to there car.Alot of the stuff I see on here is not my bag either , but it is apparently theirs , and that is pretty much all that matters . Some of these guys are dumping big dough in their cars to mod them there way and as a general rule of thumb , if I don't like it , i keep my opinions to myself. Besides who want's all these cars to look the same ? Anyway you got to do what works for you , so if ripping these ''pimpmobiles'' as you call them works for you ........Do it to it brother .....just saying you may piss some folks off . And for what reason ??

I'm not quite sure I know what you're talking about because you seem to like cars with 22" wheels, air suspension and full bodykits.

You are not the guy that decides whats cool and classy for others bud.

Good response. I agree 100%. When I first came on here, as member number 50, everyone was amazed at 22 inch rims and said they are too big and looked like crap, even with the 20's...too big. A year later, the same people were liking the stuff. While I would probably not role on 24's, due to wanting more sidewall for myself, there are others who would, and I love seeing most of them regardless. Either way, different strokes for different folks. I don't like seeing stock 300's or srt8's, yet I don't tell people not to post them. It is there car and there right to show off their machinery.

Yeah definately different strokes for different folks, I just think now you see a lot more rediculous looking 300's than nice looking ones and it takes away from the class of the car... Sure, any car class you look at will have weird moded cars, but I dont want the 300 to fall in the same category as cheap hondas or other cars that you see millions of modded poorly...
It just seems like people rather than trying to be be imaginative and do something to the car that actually goes with the car, just slap on the most bling bling wheels they can find, some crazy lights, and anything that screams look at me...

For example these angel eyes... They look rediculous on the 300s... Theyre made for BMW's, and the aftermarket ones makes the car look so cheap... Or the Lexani-ish type chrome wheels with a rediculous design...

Different strokes for different folks indeed... I just feel embarrased when I see a rediculous looking car in the street knowing that I have the same brand...

My cars not a showstopper, and Ive definately seen some nicer than mine... But one thing I do give myself credit for is keeping the mods with the flow of the car... Not just slapping the most expensive or falshy thing I can find on it or a body kit that makes my car look like a space alien...

Heres a pic, Ill post more that are lighter and minus the photoshop effects...

I think that black car is done very nice... Might be overdone but at least its clean...

Sorry if you feel insecure about being overdone yourself and feel like you have to defend yourself...

And mine was just an opinion like all others, no need to cry about it and get butthurt...

This could get interesting. As far as I'm concerned, while I may not like a particular mod or look, it's not my car and it DEFINATELY isn't my money being spent. It's called creativity and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One thing I try to make a point of not doing is critizing what some do to their cars even though I may not necessarily like it.

Civics with body kits and wings could also be thought of as creative, doesn't mean they're not completely ignorant. The question is whether or not the forum mods will allow the few equally ignorant 300C owners to be flamed as such. I am not a fan of the pimp my ride style crap either.
