they are just going with the times, just as we are doing to our cars.

Food for thought, just playing devil's advocate here.

i agree--it's been the "hot" thing to do for a few years no--fix up an import. the problem is that too many don't do that great a job. honestly, too many to do a ****ty job.

i think a lot of us here have respect for cars like the supra, skyline, z (old and new), wrx sti -- even civics and integras that are fixed up right. the problem is all the posers. there are just too many of them, and unfortunately, they're crap py cars are in the front of our minds when we think import, thus rice.

sometimes it's because people can't afford to fix their cars up, sometimes it's because they have ****ty taste, but either way it's a concious decision--rice is a concious decision. just look at the civic FOOSE designed--it doesn't have all this crazy body kit crap all over it to make it look like optimus prime's sick twisted brother. the paint job is a little busy, but very tasteful. the engine definately had some work done to it and it hauls ass. hell, i wouldn't doubt it could beat a lot of our cars (well, mine at least, hehe). point is, it was done in good taste, and good taste is what "ricers" don't have.

have any of you guys gone and looked at pics of real muscle cars? ones from mid to late 60's and early 70's? maybe ricers got the black hood thing from real cars.
