Meh.

Thats like saying Hurst Shifters and Craggier wheels are played out on Muscle cars. Or BFG ATs and GY MTRs are lame because EVERYONE rocks them on their truck.

It's just part of that car/brand/image thing. When you build a particular car you tend to picture it a certain way and you build it that way. A guy wanting a 240 isn't dreaming up blue vinyl interior with 15" "Bullet" style wheels and a cherry-bomb dual exhaust.

Just like a Euro guy isn't buying that M3 to slap in a Bride seat, Tomei exhaust and Weds Wheels. He wants that Porsche Recaro GT3 seat, BBS wheels and Dinan performance parts.

Not everyone is out to be a trend setter or even be original. Fuck, your driving a 240sx, which is far from original in the first place.
