Houckster Champion Author Atlanta Posts:9,340 Points:693,335 Joined:Sep 2003	Message Posted: Jun 10, 2012 7:00:06 AM Ignore Houckster Report Abuse I have great respect for my truck. I would never pimp it. I did add 20" wheels, disc brakes to the rear, a Powertrax No-slip differential and some other performance goodies. But pimp it? NEVER!

BartandLisa Champion Author Newfoundland Posts:2,137 Points:418,365 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Mar 31, 2012 11:37:16 AM Ignore BartandLisa Report Abuse Not a chance since it looks ridiculous. The fart cans and giant wheels look cartoonish on a Neon or Protege or Sunfire or Civic or Corolla, etc that you see buzzing around. Nothing wrong with customizing your ride, but make it classy. On the other hand, I did have sidepipes, mag wheels and pinstripes on my first car.
