I was talking to a few of my friends/co-workers and that was one point that we all had in common. Why the hell would you waste all of your hard earned on just the looks??? Have the new generation of car lovers been spoiled by the 'bling-bling'factor and not taken inot account the performance factor??? For example, MTV's 'Pimp My Ride' does all of this body work and they may 'restore' the engine but they don't mod the engine. They should at least give a little bit for the money they put into it. I guess that why I love 'Hot Rod' and other shows like it. But that's just me....

The dumbest thing I can say that I see on cars, are the $200-$300 set of custom tail lights.
For $300 you can do some work on the drivetrain that will actually help, instead of spending it on looks that will give you nothing.

Some people don't care about performance. Just the bling. The other day I had to laugh. I saw a WS6 coming up behind me so I thought I'd have a little fun. I started toying with him trying to get him to bite but no. I eventually let him in front of me and the dang car was a six cylinder car. ( the tiny single exhaust said it all) The guy cloned a WS6 and didn't have the means to back it up. What a waste. I say if your gonna make your car look fast it better be fast. Appearance mods are fine as long as they are tasteful and represent the car for what it is.

Yeah, I know a guy who just did this. He's one of my freinds from high school, He just purchased (end of summer) a trans am with t-tops, but it was a V6, not a bad little car, but definately not a WS6. Anyhow, I havnt talked to him in a while and I just saw his car the other day and he put one of the WS6 Spoilers and a Ram Air hood (non functional). I was talking to another freind and that freind said that he had the whole car repainted when he had the hood and spoiler painted and put on. stuff like that just seems dumb to me. If I had money like that to drop on a car, I would at least build the engine up a little bit. If not for speed at least for longevity, I mean, either way, if people put that kind of money into their cars wouldnt they want them to run well too

Um he had a v6 firebird not a v6 transam. He didnt have a WS6 wing as the WS6 wing is a transam wing. Unless you get a converty you are stuck with the short wing. So your buddy got a v6 firebird with Ttops a ram air hood and transam spoiler. thats just a waste of money all of it.
