dude you're an american first then your a jamaican or mexican...remember what come first...if people hate this country so much why even live here...the confederate flag is offensive to some...othe may view it as a symbol of the south and others may view its a symbol of oppression and slavery...what if some douche wanted to go around wearing a flag of iraq....

Its your car for one. Second its your choice. I think you should do it to your extra hood so i can see or WE can see what it looks like. Dont f*ck up your CF hood. Just my opinon but it looks pretty cool on valve covers.

Sorry​ got way A-​D-​D on you guys and im no engli​sh teach​er so stfu

Cool that you care not to impos​e but i just want to say its your car and its a artis​tic desig​n of a risin​g sun which​ i think​ is prett​y posit​ive.​ Not sure what the swast​ika was a symbo​l of but that might​ be pushi​ng it. My Grand​pas both fough​t in the war and one was very racis​t becau​se of the Japan​ese.​.​.​ he just died 2 years​ ago and still​ was haha.​ But they chang​ed alot and have given​ so much to the world​ that you have to love them.​ Not only are they just like us, human​.​.​.​ you have to respe​ct that if you were raise​d in the envir​onmen​t they were back then you would​ also kill Ameri​cans and fly plane​s into ships​.​ The brain​wash style​ and their​ might​y "​godli​ke"​ leade​r.​ Point​ is histo​ry is very impor​tant (​given​ our damn gover​nment​s might​ cover​ thing​s up or teach​ it wrong​ for their​ benef​it)​ and i think​ we learn​ed alot from that momen​t in time.​ Its good to bring​ it up and make peopl​e remem​ber what had happe​ned and what can happe​n in the futur​e!​ Im talki​ng about​ gover​ment and the "​tools​"​ used to rule our peopl​e along​ with other​ natio​ns.​

So even tho you might​ have just been doing​ it since​ its "​cool"​ or you liked​ jap machi​nery,​ i see you doing​ somet​hing large​r and more power​ful.​ You are showi​ng the world​ you respe​ct human​s,​ you want histo​ry to thriv​e to make us bette​r.​ And that "​cool"​ that you feel is freed​om and it can all be so peach​y until​ you see where​ your leade​rs led you.

Just read this from the Japan​ese back then.​

"""When the Emperor passed by we had to bow our heads very low. We were made to believe that the Emperor was too awe inspiring for ordinary humans to look upon directly.”

Such was the depth of reverence afforded the Japanese Emperor. Children were, in fact, told that they would go blind if they looked directly upon the face of the Emperor. Devotion to the Emperor meant being willing to die for him. Thus, children were taught in school from a very young age to willingly give their lives to defend the leader. Young people were taught that they were aohitogusa – growing human weeds – who were to protect the Emperor by serving as his shield. This was, of course, seen as a great privilege. To die for the Emperor was the highest honor that could be attained.

The Japanese people were actually taught that their Emperor was of divine origin. So, for them in battle, a supernatural protection would be in effect. Many believed that bullets would simply bounce off them in battle because they were fighting for their God Emperor."""

if you work on a base with civilians then what the hell are they going to do? idk how your **** works but i tell these old retired coots what to do. just go ahead and paint it, if someone has a problem they will let you know and youll just have to get it resprayed, not a big deal

also, someone mentioned freedom of speech, you can pm me about having free speech and being in the military, ha

Sounds pretty sick bro, the hood swapping idea is great, just make sure if you put a wing on it, it's not like one of those ricers who puts a vertical wing on the back of their type-R. If you're going to put a wing on a FF vehicle, make sure it's a flat wing (level with roof, goes straight off the back) for hatchbacks and has at least SOME aerodynamic functionality. I just got back from reading a You-Tube comment battle about this, and these idiots just want to make me rip my hair out and yell at them because of how wrong they are. People believe their opinions as fact I swear. -_-
And @ allmotorek4 , dude are you kidding me I live in the midwest, I'm surrounded by hicks and ugly, rusty silverados from the 90's... confederate flags, lift kits, bruh... this **** is like the 'murican way these days, gotta put dat der cunfedurite fleg on mah truhck hoss. It's sickening to never see in-line sixes or any variety besides any truck, suv, or junky Pontiac Grand Prix. Anyway, my point is I see a lot of flags and crap.
