*thumbs up*

 

stickers and emblems don't add whp.

 

Just because someone says it adds HP, doesnt mean it does without proof.

 

don't mod all show no go.... mod by Show N Go

 

haha i'm all go and no show!!!

 

just because u mix match your tires and rims, that doesnt mean u are a pro drag racer

spraypainting your calipers only lasts 50 miles

 

My Stickers add WHP, but i dont like stickers, so im good, lol

 

v-tec is not a speed mod

vvt is not a speed mod

wal-mart is not a pro mod shop. nor is mijer.

 

those little plastic things spinning over your 10s arent real spinners and no one gonna believe you.

and the little wrinkles on your "two toned" seats means that they arent really upholstered and you may have been jipped by the garage who "made" them for you

when u buy a box for you car from a major retailer then it aint "custom"

 

Does cleaning out your car when you have lots of junk in it, to make your car go faster, count toward customizing?

 

While it may not be considered customizing, it is most likely more effective on launch and 1/4 mile times than some of the ebay addons.

 

Thats called weight reduction. Notice that cars that are modified specifically for the track are basically bare inside. You wont really get any significant weight loss unless you do a bit of work. Cleaning out your car wont cut it. You gotta get rid of the bigger, heavier stuff to see any noticeable results. Taking out your spare wheel is a start though. as well as everything else in your trunk. Basically you need to drop quite a bit of weight.

 

its lasts longer if you use high temp paint.. 30k in counting

 

im talking about hobby lobby paint your chairs spray paint lol

 

how about brand name is better than no name? Like brand name parts are always better then no name generic parts? cause its more quality then generic quantiy?

 

if you have an auto dont put it in neutral and let it roll back to make it look like a stick shift at a junction.SAD,VERY SAD

 

hahah..you guys are awesome

 

Dubs do not belong on imports.

 

preach it girl!

another rule: if your running 17"+ wheels on your scion, but on stock height...please dont get 35 series tires...your car looks like it's a damn 4x4!
