i think it's kind of cool to blow away a riced out civic with a beatup, dented, piece of **** looking car. kinda humbles some people.

I guess it really depends on how u want people to be looking at your car. I personally would like to have a clean *** fast car that looks good and clean. But on the other hand.....if a car is fast and looks like ***.....the way how people react when they find out how fast you are is priceless......

I have dings and dents on my hybrid. If it doesn't bother you than you should keep it that way. Like Crunch said, the look on people's faces when I blow by them without hitting vtec is simply "Priceless."

As long as they aren't huge dents, I doubt it's anything to worry about. If you want to fix them, go to different body shops and get some prices. Depending on the dent, nick, etc., it shouldn't be too expensive.

Sleepers are nice, but more people are becoming aware of them. Hence people are always weary when a stock EG, EK, teggy, asks them to run. A friend of mine has a stock as f*ck looking EG, but it runs 10s. He made alot of domestics hate.

Suppose it would be cool to see the look on peoples faces when you beat them with a beat up car but i personally prefer a nice clean stock looking car with no exterior mods. I would get thos dents fixed. If they are small, use bodyfiller but if they are large then maybe take it to body shop, or try heating it up and bang it back into place. I'm sure there are alot of other members that are good with body work.

I think it's dope to see a primered out Civic or CRX smoke any car that thinks it's hot ****. However, if you're car is nice and pretty, looks fast, has 69 racing stickers in every area imaginable on the car, and 3 extra guages on the left side of the dash so everyone you pass can see them, you damn well better not be stock.

my friends 93 si has stock wheels and tires, nothing aftermarket on the body but clear corners that were put on when he got his new bumper (unpainted) after it was hit... so it looks ghetto as hell... but when he pulls up next to say a supercharged camaro or dodge viper and revs at them... they usually leave unhappy... (turbocharged sohc running 13 even on stock tires) its pretty ******* sick...
