Figured.It is a flat paint thread.You have a flat paint car.You are scared to post it.

I think this speaks a lot on the subject.

also, the phrase is "I COULDN'T CARE LESS" (that goes for everybody, not just you)

Also, you apparently don't care what I think about it, so what would it matter if you posted it up? Hmmmm?

NOTE: Ian. I don't know you and I don't know your car. I'm not attacking you. You're probably cool.

Hahahahaha

You read me wrong sir.

Scared, no, lazy yes, there are pictures of my car all over this forum, and in my zoints profile.

I don't care what you think because I know you wont like it because its not drift tastic and rocking a snow plow body kit.

Yes, occasionally my grammar sucks, Im human.

Even your S14 had kind of a snow plowey style kit, though it looked alright. I just like things a little more subtle. If I could have anything, I would want a full Navan kit. Ive only seen 1 or 2 kits that actually look good on the Zenki.

PS, free post?

oh, an off topic.Let's keep going.

I don't understand how it was a "snow plow".

Should it not have even had a lower portion to it?Maybe it was just really low and touched the ground often.

I'm pretty sure the only front bumpers that don't have a lip are those newwer supermade ones.Those happen to look TERRIBLE.

That could have been it.

I have not seen the supermade kits. Got any picture on hand?

You peaked my interest, I had to go look for myself.

The rear bumpers, and side skirts look fine, I actually like the rear, its very sleak.

The front bumpers on the other hand what the hell were they thinking. Those things are hideous.

That's what happens when you don't put a front "lip" on a bumper.

Looks like somebody had a real bumper, broke the lip off, then just fixed it real fast with a solid line across the bottom.

Stupid.

I dont think that is the only reason. It just doesnt flow correctly. Lips usually do help, I just think too many people get carried away and the car ends up looking like a hiked up 50s prom dress.

Those cars are SEMA ready?

I don't know when it became a trend to have a paintjob that looks like it was done with limited pocket change and an alleyway in the middle of the ghetto.
