Is 1killercls a poser since he has red ones instead of OEM?

im not hating on his CL, i think it looks great. Im just trying to say that everyone has different tastes and you shouldnt complain about somthing so small like changing badges.
I for one never want to see everyone modding the same, then every car would be boring as fawk to look at.

Don't do it to YOUR CAR if you don't like the way it looks.

Actually I just like the Red Badges on the White.

I don't think he was really complaining, just voiceing his opinion that he didn't like it. Then everyone else has to put their $.02 in on how he is wrong, blah blah.
I'd be boring as fawk is if noone ever voiced their opinion.

My car was 100% made in japan.. my car has been where i want to go 
so if i change my taillights and badging, then thats ok to you (katana) in your book cause my car came from japan? right? right? im gonna go hit up ebay y0!
the only reason they changed the name is because the japanese respected the fact that pontiac had the GTO in america before mitsubishi did.

or atleast get rid of the splitters. There is a guy in my complex that has a RSX-S that has all the JDM shit on it along w/ a real type R motor. Now he can floss the honda emblem all he wants IMO. But all his shit is true jdm, not some knock off.

This thread is cracking me up for real! Plus....naturally I expect to get people's opinions when I post pics.....nothing to get upset about.
Besides...I'll see him at the meet...we'll have the First Annual Emblem Throwdown 2004!!!!!

i have friends in the industry and go often, the laugh at people who want to go over there so bad thinking it's just like a rice rockets paradise. They say you rarely even see fixed up cars, and only if you go looking in the right places. Although they did bring back some sweet pictures of them at Jun, Spoon, Blitz, etc. But if you aren't in the know you ain't seeing that shit.

Miss Ivtec I like your wheels they look good...personally I would of gone with lightweight 17"s for speed....but that just me.
I have to agree with Katana on this although I think it is alright for people to do what ever to their car.....if you put a pic up it will be criticize. I have seen some fucked up hoopties riding around and makes me wonder why nobody has said anything.
If I put a fast and furious wing on my Benz I expect somebody to say what the fuck is a matter with you....it comes along with posting a pic. I think Katana has modded his car and looks complete. MissI vtec has a nice car but its incomplete due to the mismatch paint and some 4x4 action.
sorry just my
Lou

What part of that makes it a knock off I don't know. It's not like I have the Type R badging on my car....THAT I can understand.....

However, I thought the majority of all honda motor corp cars are assembled in the US these days? I'm pretty sure your diamond star was assembled over there.

the vin number stars off as JA3Am54
im pretty sure the JA means japan.
the original sticker says it came into port at brunswick, GA, and then was trucked over to tennessee where the first owner bought it.

the only thing i could brag is that it was made with japanese parts. LOL
which is why it really pissed me off after 9 11 and everyone was like we need to support american businesses.. so people stopped buying imports for a while.
It hurt my dad directly who worked at honda, and i can only imagine that was felt through out all japanese dealerships and plants..
its like well good job, you just hurt a lot of the working american people who needed those jobs..
