Also "tastefully modified". Because that is not even a thing. Everyone "taste" is different. A tastefully modified exhaust to one is a rice rocket to another.
Most can agree what tastefull vs gaudy such as color of car color, style of wheels, over the top body kit or subtle

IMO there will never be a consensus on what is a tasteful modificiation

Shit, people can't even agree on what a tasteful stock vehicle is.

false. its all relative. I like underglow even though need for speed underground was a long ass time ago. some people hate it. I hate stanced cars that look like the hulk smashed it into the ground. others love it

Like an under glow, I said I would NEVER install a ricey interior light kit in my car.

Because the 86 only has the crappy dome light up at the front, once autumn hit, dark at 5PM I could not see in my backseat to buckle my son in his car seat. Actually caved and now have a full ambient kit under all my seats and dashboard.

Not rice at all when you set the brightness to as low as it can go. Very subtle and looks similar to the newer luxury sedans incorporating colored ambient lights.

Less trend, but I don't do anything to my cars that cannot be returned to stock. The only things I've done were very subtle changes that the average person would never pick up on.

Except for that time I lost a bet and had to plastidip my winter wheels blue.

this is why I don't make bets. there's a woman who drives a blue wrx around town with the wheels and other parts plastidipped pink. I don't think she lost a bet though, I think she's just going for blue and pink

A lot of money is spent on designing the look of these cars. I really like the subtle changes.

Is it "ricey" if it is a dealer installed option?

The blue grew on me all though I wouldn't do it again. The plastidip however protected the wheels extremely well.

I peeled the coating off after winter, and the wheels still looked new.

No they can't. That is why there are more than one colour, different wheels and bodykits made.


And just what do you consider a "gaudy" car colour anyway?
