Huh i like the clean look a simple lip sides and rear are cool...

The wildest i get is like a rear Diffuser.....


And then throw it off with some sick colored rims....

I don't really put limits on what I like

Personally, i'd rather run aero, but that's because I like big, gaudy wheels, and huge mufflers.

I dought it. The companys make bodykits for other cars than just the 240.

Maybe. I can see it.

Personally, I wanted to sell my shit aero and get OEM/XENON shit.

oem looks clean and simple

aftermarket tends to be more aggressive

I use my 240 for daily and the occasional autoX. the cones would destroy any aftermarket aero for sure.
there's a lot more other stuff I would spend on spend before even considering aero.
I like the sleeper look. last thing I need is undesirable attention from thieves, and police.

If I had to do aero, I would look for a super-obnoxious (but good quality) apr gt wing, maybe an oem lip kit and call it a day.

I hope we're nearing the time when flamboyant bass boat paint jobs, bell-bottom side skirts, and rubber band stretched tire just fades the f*ck away. Shit is as gay as Fast & The Furious #1 and the mid to late 90's Honda scene. But, if the Japanese and drifters say its cool...:-/

SOME Supermade and Vertex are nice, but I'll always prefer OEM.

When that happens I'll crash my car into a bicycle shop and ride off into the woods on a mountain bike.

For S-chassis I like both OEM and aftermarket stuff...aftermarket only if it's pulled off right.

Like if you slap on aero and wheels but don't slam your shit because of some lame excuse about the roads, it's not gonna look right. It's gonna look like shit. If the roads are bad in your area, then don't put any fucking aero on your car. I'd like to put aero on my vert eventually but knowing me, I'd damage that shit the moment I put it on.

Hondas (90's Civics/Accords specifically) don't need aero imo. If I had one I'd just get a lip, some nice wheels, slam it, and call it a day.

I prefer OE personally.
Most of the aftermarket shit I see that people seem to be so in love with is very gaudy in my opinion, very much not my style, I am extra conservative about the outward appearance of my car... Pignose lip, OE Silvia skirts and still looking for a rear.

Its all a matter of personal preference and on what chassis. If I could do it, JDM Kouki S14 front bumper with Zenki sideskirts, kouki rear bumper with valences is clean. Unfortunately, its pretty pricy to do since you have to find the parts on your own. Shit gets expensive piecing it all together.

the us. s-chassis scene seems to be moving in a cleaner OEM direction. a throwback to the golden days of the japanese drift scene.

replica 99-02 era cars and such.

i dig it.



i still want the spaceshiplollipop mars rover attack fighter giant aero/gaudy obnoxious chromewheel cars to stay around though.

i like the variety of styles that can be pulled off on s-chassis.
