I know many of the people that come threw here arent going to read this,But it needs to be said.I love cars all cars not just imports.Im a honda guy always have been always will be.I was before hondas were cool and I still will be when they arent cool anymore,but the hate has to stop!Some people like stock some jdm,some show,some go,But I'll never hate on anyone who works hard to have a nice custom car.I understand that poeple who goto autozone buy a wing and try to race everyone is very embarrassing,and give real tuners a bad name,but lets face it thats life.Where I come from I know people who buy s10's and try to race everyone,Not many hondas where I live:)Give credit where credit is due!If it isnt your taste,Thats cool.I dont like salads but I don't hate people who do.I just wanted people to know im not going to hate on anyones car even if they hate on mine.I take pride in what I do and im not changing,and I dout anyone else who builds the cars how they like will either.Now that I feel better about that on with the pictures....
