This is a SoCal car. We do what we like with our money and our cars and we're cool with each other. Is this my cup of tea...no. But I'd welcome him at any car meet. The people I'd ban are the close minded, negative and hateful people wishing harm on others or their vehicles for their choice in mods. There's no place for that here.

*Edit*

You know what. You're right. That behavior was uncalled for and I apologize. I don't wish harm to anyone (unless they truly deserve it) and I don't wan to be viewed as hateful. It has been a long and stressful week.

Curiously, why are we jumping on this fellow for his silly spending of mod money? Why are stretched tires worse than the added weight of carbon fiber covers? Actually I know the answer to this particular one.

Useless is useless on many "look" mods.

OP. The whole idea is to give feedback on your thoughts about what your friend wants to do and support his decision. Let him figure things out.
