That's cool, I think we all build them for ourselves, first and formost, but it's nice to get positive reactions from other people. I think it makes most people feel good when their work is noticed and appreciated.
As far as car parts as a fashion statement being a joke, that's cool too...
No, I'm not 12...yet.
Dude tell me that the carbon fiber pieces for most guys aren't just for looks.
No one ever tricks out their ride to impress their friends, right?
At least some of it is outdoing your buddies, that's all I'm saying. If carbon fiber added weight after it was all...
I'm not in love with the way they look, kinda breaks up the lines of the hood (same reason I don't like the hood vent mod).
But if you had to have them, and given that the ebay ones look and I'm sure are cheaply made, why not make a set out of junkyard headlight covers?
Gotta be easy to...
Geee....uhhhhhhh.....duhhhh.....errrrrrrrrr.......ahhhhhh.......doyyyyyyy......do you think maybe supracentral should maybe read something besides Ayn Rand?
Pretty easy to figure that one out.:aigo:
It's nice to see a Mkiii going fast even if it's not 7m power.
Every time I see slow66's picture on his thread, I think "that is a badass car & I wonder when it's gonna be finished"?
How fast are you looking to run?
7m power I presume?
Looks great so far.
Awesome, the weight savings is great but I'll be honest, I love the way they look. With a carbon fiber hood, fenders, and do I read this correctly, they also make a hatch?
Can you imagine! Every kid on the block would be green with envy.
I think you're being unfair, and mischaracterizing what I said. You surely didn't get my point. I was speaking to the idea of singling out a particular branch of thievery and pointing the finger without acknowledging that it rolls down from the top. Do you really think I would endorse theft in...
I'm disappointed in you. You never addressed what I actually said, (I guess it didn't serve your argument) rather you chose to try to insult me and sidestep my point.
You're a smart guy and I value that. I also value the truth, and the truth is
it wasn't necessary to publicly declare your...
Ok morality judge/enforcer/alterboy:
Then start with the top of the order when pointing out thieves, instead of cowardly singling out the bottom of the food chain.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, supporting and endorsing thievery at the highest level is the only thing lower than the actual...
Ayn Rand did not forsee the monopolzation and the resulting lack of choice among consumers, or the unfair political influence these corporations wield.
And speaking of copyright, you didn't give Ayn Rand credit for the quote.
Your point is moot.
Personal character aside, I take issue with oppressive corporations that feel no responsibility or loyalty to anyone.
I also find it very disheartening that so many people would rather promote their own sense of piety than choose to exercise independent thought, or question authority.
D34DC11 is right. Period.
Opposing view has totally missed the point (you know who you are).
I'm not going to cover every absurd point made by others (unless challenged...), but let me first point out a couple of things to the self-righteous purveyors of truth justice and the American...
Shouldn't ethics go two ways? I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just think that supporting someone who won't do the same sends the wrong message.
That's my ethic.
PS What's with the gun?
This is a tough issue because on one hand, a really loud car is obnoxious.
On the other hand, there are too many stupid laws designed to protect ourselves from ourselves.
Personal responsibility, much like morality or common sense, is impossible to legislate and even harder to enforce.
I hear ya. I didn't mean any disrespect. I'm just sick of being ignored or blown off by the local Toyota dealers because I have an "old car". I'm sure as long as people are willing to pay the inflated price for their manual, Toyota will keep printing them (at a handsome profit).
You'd...
