For the most part, I agree with Mike, except for the clears that come from the factory.
Take into account though that Mike doesn't even like something as small as my European left rear taillight, 89+, with the red rear foglight replacing the backup light. He says it imbalances the rear end. I disagree, but Mike is a purist I think.

I am a purist, except for what cannot be seen while driving down the road.

Mainly, I just don't like anything that DroptopRX7 does.

Yeah. Big exhaust tips are NOT functional, they just scream "Look at me, I'm a rice-boy!"

He didn't say tips, he said the whole system, which is functional.
But I do agree, I think there are lots of ways to improve the looks of the car that arent considered rice.

Everybody wants different things. Me?, I want a basically stock looking car with a lot of power. I do want a few things that might make it known to a car enthusiast that my car might have some power above stock. I think I've done those things with the big exhaust, suble front spoiler and 376 rwhp. Spoiler not shown in below image.

So, keep making the exterior look not-stock. I'll keep making my nearly stock looking car quicker.
