Yes, some people do put a lot of stuff on their cars, and it usually ends up looking really cool. So what if it isn't fast, thats not the point half the time. Power costs money, and I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend $1,000 on say a bodykit and paint matching, then spend around $2,700 for a GOOD turbo/intercooler kit. I do agree though, most of the pics posted here do look completely ridiculous. I'm modding my 05 Cavalier, but I'm not being cheap about it. Putting on a nice body kit, getting a CAI, new exhaust system, eventually a turbo kit in the long run. The only "ricer" people I can't stand are the guys who have a Nissan Altima or something, yet have tons of stickers that say "Greddy", or even "Honda Racing" when Nissan has nothing to do with them!!! Or the people that have stickers of performance like "NOS", "HKS" etc when you can clearly see/hear that there is nothing performance-wise done to the car.
Even some of you have to agree that some of the modded cars out there do look pretty cool. Its not always about whats under the hood. For me, I couldn't really care less about whats under the hood, I just like displaying creativity.
