SVTdriver said:This reminds me of a show I was watching. Where "Hot Rodders" were saying they didn't think all the cosmetic things people did back then. Was really considered Hot Rodding a car. Which is what many of the people running civics are doing. They get lambo doors, fiberglass interior, Rollbars that aren't connected to anything, Fire extinquishers mounted to the plastic A-pillar pieces, Big wings, carbonfiber hoods. But yet don't spend much on performance. Other than a K&N and muffler. Yes some of the old hotrods were cosmetic. But many more actually took at least some performance gains to heart.
I owned an Acura Integra prior to my current ride and I used to visit some of the Acura forums and I can tell you, most of them were more concerned about "da bling" than anything else. Yes, there was a small core group that were actually looking for ways to make their car faster but it definitely a small percentage of the population overall.
