What’s up SW!! I have revamped my build thread with dates and reduced the redundancy of pictures and the number of pointless pictures. I had a lot of critique on my photo thread aside from this, but this will be just for updates and updated quick shots of the car while the photo thread will contain photo shoots.
You will notice that my car doesn’t have the theme of a single brand or style. I am building this to my liking and putting parts in and on that I like, not because they are the same brand, but because I like the look, function, or just my personal opinion over another. You will not see me claim my car as being JDM or anything else, other than my personality.
I do not dislike any other makes of cars, we all love the same thing and that’s cars. We need to eliminate that disrespect and anger towards one another, and start showing support and if something is said that is negative, let’s have it as constructive criticism. I also belong to a forum www.darktune.net and that is exactly our mission in the car scene.
