I checked this thread out when it was first posted, and I thought that the car looked incredible. I ignored some of the stupid comments, and didn't post but I feel like some of you guys just have no respect for others.
I have been around drag racing my whole life, and I realize that in order for a racer to maximize the combo they have to get the best ET's possible, they need drag wheels and a drag
suspension. Obviously the OP knows what he's doing and know what he wants with the car. Who the hell cares if he keeps the wheels on his car all the time?! To the person who made the comment about swapping the wheels back to 17's at the end of the race day, not everyone can fit them in the trunk, plus if they are DOT legal DR's, who cares! Who wants to swap wheels at the end of a race day. You wanna drive home and have a cold one, not swap wheels!
That said, it sickens me that some of you guy on here hate on his car because you just don't understand. Even if you do understand, your making comments that are totally unnecessary.
Handz, I ABSOLUTELY respect how clean your car is and your knowledge of detailing, and while sometimes you seem like a know-it-all, I respect everything you post about detailing. It's your opinions that you just have to keep to yourself sometimes. I love the way your car looks, its basically what my old car looked like, and I agree, the stock look is underrated. BUT, I think it's retarded that you have only one fixed back race seat in the car if it's your DD. While I do understand why you have it, I think it looks silly with the stock passenger seat next to it. Why don't you just swap back to the stock drivers seat while your DD'ing the car and put the race seat in for track days? It's only 4 bolts! Thats actually less bolts than swapping wheels. I also think your gauge cups on the dash don't look as clean as a nice cluster surround pod or pillar pod, but I don't hate, I look at the overall picture. REGARDLESS, your car is clean as hell and at the end of the day, I still absolutely love it.
My point is, everyone has different taste, and different opinions on what they think looks cool and how they mod their car. If you don't agree with it, tough ****, its not your car. Keep your damn opinions to yourself if you don't like it.
I know if it were me and I spend over a grand on wheels and tires and I posted up pics and people hated on it, it would piss me off. But again, at the end of the day it's my car and I like it.
To the OP, sorry for all the childish bull**** in this thread. The car truly looks awesome, and I can't wait to see more pics when you get all 20 lug nuts and after the hood is painted!
