Personally, I like all my cars stock on the exterior. Under the hood anything goes. That being said, your car looks nice, so enjoy it summer is almost over.

Oh the irony

This is about the most stupid statement I have heard. My car is stock no mods what so ever that is me that is how I like it. Does not mean I dont like other mods or that I do to each his on on that it is their car. When you start to relate what a person does to their car compaired to what they can afford is obsord. a lot of people on here get as much pleasure doing things themselves as driving the car. Does not mean they can not afford something it is fun a pleasure a releife you are so off track with that statement. Where did you get your stastices from (99%)??????????????
You heard it all here. You my friend are correct.

I think the ground effects set the car off, but id get ride of the C4 stock wheels, they make the car look dated IMO.
I have never been a fan of any of the C4 stock wheels of any year, but im sure some purist will hate me for saying that.

Steve Sanders You my friend will grow up one day and realize you do not know it all. If you only knew what your post about my short comings really meant. I have appoliged on here a few times about my spelling and sentance structor. You have no ideal where I come from and where I have been. I just hope on day you will never have to go where I have been. I do hope in time you will grow up and mature but with your view on things I doubt this....
