Unless you are fabricating all your own parts, then it still remains that people will be similar if not the same. You care what others think about your car, but isn't that just following the trends as well? Being different for the sake of being different isn't unique, tons teen goes through this phase. Build it how you want it, because in the end you are the one that has to look at it everyday.





This completely goes against anyone that create 'sleepers'. Not everyone puts appearances above performance. This post isn't just about the people who slap stickers and fake the funk, people still get pissed over copies that say rota/drag/etc. I have actually heard someone who argued up and down that the Regamaster Evo was a copy of the Spoon SW388. You will have the idiots that don't know what's real from fake, no amounts of complaints will fix that. But again, people that actually care, know the differences. You can't force people to know the differences if they don't want to learn them.

To me, it's a compromise. Wrestling with form and function. You can choose to put your money into performance or appearance, but most peoples pockets aren't deep enough to do both on a high level. One compromise is we drive civics, mustangs, 240s, etc. I chose my car for gas mileage, aftermarket support and cost associated, and functionality...but it's not a show car, just a daily driver. Not everyone 'follows the masses' or builds their cars to be appreciated by all. Some compromise and buy reps for the street so VA's shitty roads don't claim another rare wheel.

Look at it this way, it's supply and demand. If reps didn't exist, then you would be paying a hell of a lot more for rare wheels.

Me.. I lean more towards performance. I try to keep the sleeper look on my 300Z... but at the sametime.. I cant leave the outside stock looking.. there are just too many better looking parts. LOL...

but your right.. almost all of the 300Z's look alike.. but that is kinda due to the fact that "most" people with the 300's don't really mod the appearence. You get the stock Jap bumper and the stock Jap tails... then that is about it.

but i see where your coming from... at the same time... it is nice to be able to separate yourself from others.
