    Given The Current Trends Of Modification, What Do You Prefer The Most? Speed Or Looks?

    Hi to all! For me, personally, I try to strike the optimal balance between looks & speed/performance... A good example would be tires. Since this is a general topic nonetheless, tires can contribute to both looks & speed. If you put on better quality tires, obviously it looks good instantly...

    What Tires do you prefer??

    Cause Of Accident

    Sir Tabi1, I understand your thoughts & respect your ideas. I actually always read & watch Keith Code's lessons, & take them to heart. My ride wouldn't stay in a very good condition for 6 years if I didn't have a good fundamental skill set, & most probably if I were a nutcase I would've been...

    Cause Of Accident
