Well I guess i get confused with living vicariously through the life of my son and his car.
I look at it as the things we can talk about and do together.
He can't afford all the parts that go into the car and I'm glad to help him out and suggest a few things.
As for having MILES of respect for a Euro retrofit, maybe you should have another look at his car.

i think you'll find enough Euro on there to make a European Focus jealous.

If you want to spend 4-5k on a SC, well that would be a bit high. We spent $1800 installed.

I'm sorry that you can't see above the fact that the car my son and I own, is far and above one of the nicest car's on this site. That isn't meant to be in your face Dean style, it is meant to be the truth. There are probably less than 10 cars on this site that I would say are as nice if not nicer than the one we own. The truth is you have to have the money to spend to make your car look nice. And I do understand that your $$$ are being vested in a wedding, new home, honeymoon, etc..

But I raised a question as to why niteshading. Why make sucha big deal out of it when, IMO, it serves no useful purpose. It doesn't even look good.

I was a tad drunk last night and went off on a tangent, and for those niteshade people that I offended, I do apologize.

But NOS, when you call my son's car Rice, that really pisses me off when you have no clue as to the time, money and energy that has gone into this car. We didn't do it all, but we are proud of the car and where we have gotten it to today.
