Customizing cars is an art. We all have an individual sense of "taste" which determine our pteferences and what we are drawn towards.

Some among us are highly kinetic: which means we want to *feel* torque in our gut, the shifter sliding perfectly into its gate, and feedback from the wheel as we take a tight corner. Others among us are auditory: we want to hear the vibration of the exhaust, the harmonious melody of VVT, the growl of an intake, or resonance of a subwoofer. Others are visual: we love symmetry, color contrast, smooth curves, and sleek designs. Getting philosophical, ultimately what you do with your car and how you modify it is a reflection of you and your tastes. In order to feel good we all need a certain ratio of each of the 3. For you, you simply have low visual needs that's why it doesn't make sense to you. For me I need all 3 lol. Not satisfied til I hear, see and feel. #moddedcarsforlife

This x100! I can't believe no one else has said it! Toms are nice because they look like they could be oem. Very tasteful modification, but not as aggressive looking as spec D's or valentis.
