do you have any other suggestions? given the options i'd like my exhaust to smell a bit more classy,
maybe pig lard would give me a McDonalds smell? I understand Chinese take-out is better but I kinda want to fit in when I make a trip to Import Alliance again... a "domestic" smell would maybe have you guys from the States appreciating it more. We all know nobody likes Chinese knockoffs.
Also, I'm wondering if my job is stable enough to fund this? With the polar ice-cap melting I think my position at Polar Ice Co. will bloom. I'm the country's distributor to Eskimos, and with their diminishing supplies and dog-sled race-wars coming up, ice pulls a premium
If you want American tuners to like you car more I would suggest the following:
1. Drop you car to the ground. Ideally you want coilovers but my friend cut his springs and he said the car drove just fine so I don't see the point in paying all that money for a drop when you can get one for free.
2. You need to sand down your hood to bare metal, then put a saltwater solution in a spray bottle and spray your hood with it twice a day so that it rusts. All the cool kids do it.
3. Then you need a Yakima or Thule roof rack with a basket. In the basket you're going to want to put creative little doodads, eg: gas can, tricycle, stuffed animals, a hipster...whatever. Attach a couple of offroad lights to the front of the basket for teh ultimate win.
4. Get a front lip and break it in half. Then attach it back together with bandaids and put it on the car.
5. Break both your rearview mirrors off and put those little motorcycle mirrors in their place.
6. Now to the wheels.......you want Volk TE37's becasue they're mAd tYtE JDM yO!!!1!! get 18x10's in the rear and 18x7.5's in the front so you're Hellaflush!! Don't worry about understeer, I heard it's not that bad. Also you're going to want to paint them some bright obnoxious color like Takata green! Or you could just get some Rota Grids which are knock offs of the TE-37's. Just put some Volk stickers on them and no one will know the difference.
7. For the interior....reupholster your seats, door panels, and headliner with plaid fabric. Then come up with something creative for a shift knob. Maybe one of those tap handles from a Jagermeister dispenser, or a PBR tap!!
Thats all I can think of at the moment, but if you do all of that your car should turn into a winner!! If I can think of anything else I'll let you know!!
