Some of these pictures were new to me so im just posting them to share. if you have more VIP pictures just post them up here but they need to be accords. hahah
+1 ftwi think you guys dont have any concept about what makes modifiying a car satisfying or fun.
Theres always something out there that "comes with it" that you could buy, but some people enjoy buying a car and it being some what of a 'blank canvas' that you can personalize and make it your own.
Every class of car is modified. People with vw golfs modify them to get bmw performance levels, people modify bmw's to get porsche performance levels, and people with porsches modify thier cars to get supercar performance levels. Not all beacuse tehy couldn't afford the nicer cars in the first place, but some prefer to have options and a personalized car at the end of it. And thats just performance that i'm talking about there. People just like to have something stylish and not the norm. If i had an accord lx i'd modify the hell out of it too beacuse theres no style in hub caps lol. I dont think though that by doing that i'm trying to fool anyone into thinking the thing is a mercedes... Just trying to make mine not look so cheap.
Yea i could have had a g37 easily, i could have afforded it. But for so many reasons i chose to have an accord.
I agree that a lot of those cars aren't my taste, but its in a different part of the world where that is the trend and going style... Like down south us where people raise cars and put 26" wheels on em'... Also disgusting, but its just that "type" of modding.
I dont think they're trying to "look" like a mercedes owner who is fooling anyone.... I think they saw the vip look of some of the higher end jap/euro cars and really wanted to emulate that and enjoy that style with the best they could afford, and ultimately i dont fault them for it if thats what they enjoy.
Perhaps that accord lx with all those mods = a 3 series or c350.... But i probably wouldn't have been happy with driving around a "stock" 3 series/c350 either.
