Is it a 250 or a 350? So what else does he have planned? What scares me isn't what he has on the car but what he doesn't have on the car. A person with poor taste and too much $$$ can really create some offensive looking things.

Maybe he needs an intervention. Send him to this thread and maybe he will get the idea that it's not such a good idea (particularly for the resale value).

Why do people find underglow "ricey"? I know it's illegal but I've only seen one car on the street with underglow on in the recent years where I live compared to the numerous strange body kits and huge spoilers I've seen on the streets.

Pretty subjective stuff. I see 20" chrome wheels on here that make me wince in pain, and many others love them. I see paint jobs in here that look like candy apple turds, and others love them.

Similarly, some people like to party like it's 1999 with underglow neons, and some don't. My car is bone stock, and I like it that way. But if everyone had good taste (or the general consensus of same, anyway), a lot of tuner companies would go out of business.

I'm pretty sure that his parents bought him the car lol, as for mods. He said hes going to get MORE lights (presumably more neons) and possibly some red lip kit?

His car, so he's free to whatever he wants. We all have different opinions on other's taste but hey, I found this interesting

I wanted neons when I first saw the first Fast and Furious. Maybe he just saw the film?
