Now all you Honda kids ...
That's Honda 32 year old man to you! :)

Do what you want and what makes you happy. If that is z3 fenders and shopping cart wings so be it. Like I said before, the car looks better than it did when you started.

I said it looks like a pile of dump, not it is a pile of dump. :P

Oldboy;269412 wrote:Lol! You guys must be scared to alter the holy body of a stock 89 2500$ crx. I'm sorry I like to try things and build a custom car rather than a resto-rod. Its the same concept of building a custom street rod. You guys sound like those old men that are offended when you cut up a model a and put a big block in it and 23" drag radials on the back. Don't hate.on me just because I am not afraid to alter the looks of my car. You can't say much when you pay a shop to lower it and throw some rims on. I'm doing more than that and learning actually how to modify, fabricate, and paint. Rather than bolt on or pay a shop.

Now all you Honda kids can quote that and add some YouTube like negativity and snark about how you'd rather have a cookie cutter car. That's all I'm saying <3


It's pretty sad when someone can't have a positive post anymore without everyone talking crap and flaming others. I thought Honda enthusiast could appreciate one another even if there were different tastes
No one is 'hating' on you for 'altering' your car. No one is even 'hating' on you. Several others, including myself, think the car looks ridiculous. None of the modifications you've currently done have been functional. The paint and the wheels are decent but that's where it stops.

Nearly nobody on here pays a shop to work on their car. I would be careful throwing around a statement like that when you know nearly no one on this forum.

Cookie cutter? Hahaha. Step outside and look at your car again.

I know you're just trying to defend yourself, but it's nothing against you. There's no need for it. Build your car how you like and enjoy it. Not everyone is going to like it. Just move on.

+1. I can't think of anyone here who has gone to a shop for anything on their car honestly.
