You can not have a racecar if you don't have a QD wheel and your homie in the POS one-dead-cylinder Civic does. It sure doesn't seem to be making him a better driver.

Women seem to like it. Would I look stupid at 52 with gray hair, a flatbill and jacked-up looking car like that? As long as it brings the ladies, might be worth a try.

You got a point lol. If you like your car then women liking is just a bonus. At the same time there are limits on what you should do but his car, his life and his money so we can talk sh*t all day but that won't matter to him.

Guess he likes how that looks then.

I'm glad this FR-S has a good home now.
Looking forward for a before and after transformation!

Oh that part, ya. I was looking for something done wrong not something just not done I guess.

Or, the other option is do what I do... pay cash for the car, drive it until it has no value and then you can do whatever you want to it because it just doesn't matter.

In my entire car history I think I have traded in one car that had more than a $1000 trade-in value. It was a red Saturn SC that I owned for two years, and just couldn't take it any longer. My last two daily drivers (one purchased new, one purchased one year old) had almost 300,000 miles on them when I "traded" them in. No regrets on anything I added to them.
