I just had to add my two cents to this thread. I have been building custom cars for almost 20 years. I think some of these socalled "riceburners" are pretty cool, but make sure you have enough money left over to paint it!! Grey primer just kills the whole ground effects thing. And also, please, please don't put 15 inch wide tires on a Geo metro or something. Nothing looks worse than a ghettomobile. And as far as imports/american, each to their own. Everybody has different tastes. And lastly, nothing beats cubic inches. I will race my 69 camaro against any rice rocket in the quarter. You can slap a saturn V rocket on the roof, and still the only thing you will be seeing is my back bumper......
