Nope. Not sad. This is a little bit of awesome. These cars are about having fun and making them "yours". Putting this TRD Cap on my car makes me happy and makes the car mine.

If "yours" means that you will only bolt on power/torque adders, turbo/super chargers, nitrous, engine swaps, etc that's fine.

If "yours" means that your car has to go on a diet to make it a svelte, lightweight, autocross, gymkhana cone destroyer, that's fine.

If "yours" means that you will only bolt on bags, rims and a sticker bombed stance, hellaflush windshield banners, etc that's fine.

If "yours" means that you will only bolt on hard to find, rare, OEM parts that add nothing but looks and weight to the car, that's fine.

If you don't understand what it means to put the "C" in custom then you never will. Cusomizing cars isn't exclusive to going 200+ miles an hour or living your life a 1/4 mile at a time. Cars can be just as pretty scraping the ground or lifted to the sky, runnin a strip or a time attack circuit, being parked at a show or aired out at a meet.
