This thread got me thinking as I was on my way home last night. I saw a Honda that had what I thought were ridiculously small wheels with 50-60mm spacers and some homemade fenders flares. My first reaction was to scoff.

Than I thought about that saleman and wondered if I was acting kind of the same way. I know there is no way the Honda guy could afford to do the mods we are fortunate enough to be able to but I appreciated his efforts a little more than I would have before.

Well said...

To the OP: nothing wacky about your car AT ALL. Looks fantastic. The snobby dealer can shove it. I doubt he even owns a Porsche so what gives him the right to be condescending about your mods.

agree with whats been said, nothing wacky about your car at all, rims are not my taste but life would be boring if we all had the same taste

what a complete failure of a salesman, he really must be a complete idiot to make a comment like about a prospective customers car, any current porsche owner who walks into the dealership should be viewed as a prospective customer and treated accordingly, obviously if you were driving a 1984 riced out civic different rules might apply but personally i wouldnt blame you if you walked right into the managers office and complained

I see where you're coming from. But here in where I live, I see a lot of those Hondas and the $$$ they put in their car (to make them uglier) is unbelievable. Definitely, I won't say they could not afford the mods because one can see all the $$$ in their cars but all I can say is "tasteless". For me, if one could not afford the mods, don't make the car worse by doing tasteless things to it. Just spend it on family, on education, something worthwhile....and keep the car stock and running good.

To the OP, there is nothing wacky about your mods. But for some 50+ years old person exposed to clean new models everyday, it possibly may but he should have just kept his mouth shut.
