*”Clear bra” is only exception.
** This only applies to street vehicles.
*** Possible Exceptions are for exotics or if the reason for having said spoiler is purely for downforce /drifting (XD) purposes.
**** The exceptions are factory (or Tuner company) aftermarket added. Exotics are another exception. This is mainly addressing aftermarket DIY Full-body/Stripe Stickers.

i actually did not agree with several.

the the one that caught my attention was no gold wheels?

gold is arguably the best looking color for a wheel on a red or black car, and look damn good on pretty much all other colors.

thats ridiculous.

spencer, why do you hate drifting?

drifting is sad now

I don't hate it, it's interesting to watch. I just think it's kind of a waste of many things... of course, that could be said about any motorsport. But that's a whole 'nother thread huh?
