New GP Sports Exhaust

CCCLXXZ · 09-18-2009, 01:02 AM

People in Japan live according to their income and budget. A 370z is not an inexpensive car in Japan based on their living standards and the average resident. One who purchases a fairlady has the means to own the vehicle and spend money on modifications, otherwise they will use public transportation and/or not modify their vehicle. Unlike American culture they live within their means, and not strech themselves out just to own a particular car. For the general sample of course, not speaking for all of them. Paying a few hundred thousand yen for an exhaust is expected among many of the tuning options in Japan, I think bang for the buck and cheap fixes are more congruent with our culture here. I like to use the same mentality, if your not going to do it right just keep it stock. An equivalent would be driving around a kit car ferrari to feel like and pretend your in the real deal, when its far from the original intended value of owning one... Or owning a original artwork painting, why pay $10,000 for a piece of artwork when you can frame the poster of the painting for 10 bucks and hang it on your wall.

To each their own!

Holy honda civic batman... I would cut those tips off any 370 i came across with them and rearrange his vinyl stick ons to say shame on you. I wouldn't steal them just cut them off.
