I have to disagree with you i was 23 when i bought my mine and i just through rims and tints on it, and i am from the worst part of detroit (we dont stop at stop signs, because ur car will get taken) its all in the person, today i seen a guy that had to be about 45 with chrome everything he overdid it
That is why I said "not always". There are those few that "get it". I would say from experience, that most of the time it is people who are not from the worst parts that try to make it look they are, Poseurs in other words. The point is that there are some people from all walks of life who just don't get it when it comes to how to not over customize a vehicle.
But, if it is what you like that is fine, just don't be upset if others don't.
