Stock cars look absolutely perfect 100% of the time but these “tuners” or “jdm fans” or whatever you want to call them absolutely destroy them every single time without fail. There is zero modded car that looks better than stock
>>
Did you just find this out
>>
I agree with you. I've driven only "golden era" tuner cars (and two manual wranglers) in the 20-some years I've been driving.
I kept em all stock appearancewise except for debadges and exhausts. I will continue to do so. I have no intentions of doing more than sway bars and an intake to the 99 I just got.
I have been disgusted by what tuners did to these cars, but it only makes my cars look better. Most of my cars have sold for the price I bought them for.

Yep. I legimately think drifters should be executed for what they did to the S13. Stock S13's are basically extinct thanks to especially them ruining them with mods and crashing them. I remember how back in 2018 you could still get an Automatic stock S13 200SX for 3k euros. Now it's 12K at least if not more. All because of fucking modders and drifters hunting stock S13's to exitinction.

How does this compare with other sports cars of the era?
>>
>>28956468
Well many of them are up quite a lot. I didn't follow too many other cars than 200SX at the time. But I remember in Japan you could get an automatic NA 300ZX for 1500 euros (off course add shipping plus taxes it would be 4k or something at the very least if not more)

I did follow the MR2 and while it has gone up not nearly as much. I would say MR2 is right now about 1.5 times to 1.75 times more expensive than back in 2016-2019 when I followed the prices. 200SX is 4 times more expensive.
>>
>>28956417
Is this what you've noticed after years of staring through the bus windows?

Though I would say worst one is the MK4 Supra. I remember back in mid 2010s you could get an RHD NA Automatic MK4 Supra for 5-6K euros with minimal mods. (like only mods would be exhaust, wheels and different stereo) That's probably nowadays at least 4 times more expensive.

I don't know anybody that's hacking up their JDM cars in 2026, everyone is just swapping better motors in or doing turbo setups to catch up with modern traffic and calling it a day. I think the consensus is that the ricer body kit era was a hallucination and everyone just wants to leave it in the past.
>>
>>28956480
I mean nobody is doing that anymore since the value of the cars has soared so much. But back when the cars were cheaper people did hack up these cars and that caused good examples to go almost extinct, which is why the cars now cost so much money.

I think something similar did happen with the 60s and 70s muscle cars. They were cheap as hell kids modded them and crashed them. Good examples ended up being hard to find and that is how muscle cars became expensive.

>>28956482
You aren't wrong, the cars became more expensive from years of neglect in their cheap shitbox years. I just don't think anybody is going out of their way to cosmetically change JDM cars anymore, the examples you see on the road are more than likely cause they were bought like that after going through 15 owners and the current owner just cannot find a clean OEM bumper or hood to save their life so they use what they got. I know the pain, I have a Del Sol with a fucked up front end and 8 years later it's still a work in progress finding clean replacement fenders that aren't being price gouged.

mods that can be reversed and don't lead to damage of the car (i.e. suspension, wheels, exhaust) are not bad

Personally, I know that suspensions are complicated. I'm an engines and materials science guy, suspension angles are voodoo to me. They probably are to you, whether you'll admit it or not. You mess with one thing, you fuck up another.
If I can do everything I want with my car, why would I fuck with it for aesthetics? I do sway bars, tires, and OE replacement for the rest.
Don't BMWs have multilink often? That would fuck so many angles.

>>28956728
An alignment can only fix so much. Obviously it can, theoretically, be better but it's not my thing. If I can do everything I want with the car (powerslides on the street), then what would I gain from dropping it? Imaginary "clout?" Lap times, when I only care about the street (I have tracked plenty though, have a wheel and tire setup for tracks in the barn)?
In my fair opinion, obsessing about ride height is maximum ricer.

1 - You're advocating for mods, specifically lowering, on street cars. You are a ricer.

3 - Suspensions are more complicated than you think.
4 - My driveway is gravel for a half a mile.
What benefit did you get from lowering your car? Did it let you use the throttle to vector the car better? Be specific.

Yes, but they design it around the height they go with.
If my car does exactly what I want, as if it were an extention of my body, why would I fuck with it? I love fucking with stuff, but I also like drifting on the street without hitting even a curb. If my car and I can do that, I'm leaving it alone.

Learn materials science. When we make pistons or cylinders, we concern ourselves heavily with the crystalline structure of the metal.

you're about 15 years too late. of course stock looks great in hindsight. the day of good $2500 cars is long gone. silvias were nothing special, nor was the ae86, rx7, supra, skyline or any other car. the whole allure was that you could get a good platform for modifying for cheap. none of these cars were ever on the level of a porsche, lotus, or anything like that. they were pretty mediocre.... but they were rwd and relatively light and neutrally balanced. a beginner could drive them somewhat hard with little risk.

I agree OP. When I wanted to buy an unmolested last gen Prelude a few years ago, I was having a hard time finding something stock. Eventually found one where its only mods were an aftermarket stereo and security system, but man it needed alot of work.

The only mods I ever do are different wheels (same make of the car or an OEM from a different manufacturer with the same bolt pattern / hub bore) and some window stickers.

I usually replace the rims once I bend them out of round. A lot of factory stock rims don't handle the impact of being jumped very well.

No sir. A lexus should be slammed on its rails, preferably with bags though.
