I keep seeing people mention 'taste' so let me tell you what I think that means.


Taste is styling. Sadly, for our cars, it seems to be stylish to color-match your emblems to your mirror covers and carbon-wrap your roof and OEM wing.

Now someone who is truly a car person or a driving enthusiast wouldn't care for these things. They're extras that serve no purpose whatsoever. The suspension components on my car add a larger degree of adjustability and allows for a proper drop or OEM-like ride height. How are these not considered valuable? How does this decrease the value? I'm not trying to talk specific dollar amounts now. I'm talking usability and versatility.

To be honest the difference is between who's a 'ricer' and someone who loves to drive. One would love to be able to adjust things to his/her liking and the other just wants the 'car guy/girl' moniker. Do you want to be an enthusiast? Or appear to be one?
