And to those of you who say "don't care what others say, do what you like", do you appreciate that your car's value is dwindling and your insurance is going up because people don't know how to drive these? When they first came out, the BRZ and FR-S were looked at as great looking, sweet cars by most people. They are still great to the people that appreciate what they do. It just sucks that the general public is starting to see these cars as loud, obnoxious, riced out cars.
The more I go through Facebook groups and see what people are doing to their cars, it just annoys the shit out of me. Sorry if you think I shouldn't get annoyed by it, but the more and more people do that shit, the more that these cars get lumped into the "rice" group.

This is generally the case with ANY sporty looking car. It's not exclusive to imports. The reason civics are generally the most riced out cars is because they've been around for so long. Many of those people buy up civics around 10+ years old because they're dirt cheap, leaving them thinking they can afford to modify a car properly. You could say the same about a lot of cars though (Mustangs, 240SX, 350Z, IS/GS300). It just comes with the territory and you should be well aware of that when purchasing. The general public's view on modified cars has been skewed anyways by media such as Fast and Furious so it's not like you're any different from those "ricers" to them. Don't like it? Buy a Ferrari. If not then who cares? I'm sure you have better things to do than dwell on trivial matters such as this such as driving your FR-S/BRZ!
