You need to add a much larger wing, the exhaust neds to be much bigger, and you NEED to get some stickers on there in order for it to be rice. As it stands now it's just a nice looking car, how about leaving it that way? ;)

Tell us the important things: Suspension specs (damping rates, spring rates, caster, camber, toe-in/out), chassis tuning specs (weight distribution, total weight, stiffness), and engine specs (torque and horsepower curves not just peak values), aero specs (drag, downforce/lift). Looks don't matter for sh!t.

I'm just trying to rate the looks.

I don't really plan on racing this because its a bit to big for that. Unless I put a turbo charged engine in it. :evil:

I think the cars that aren't so riced up look the best. Some people rice it up so much its just plain sick.

Back to the topic, I think the car is alright. Never really had a thing for Legends.

Even with a turbo, it's still FWD with better than 60% of the weight over the front wheels. You're going to get nothing but understeer.

Anyone bitching about performance/handling should realize that it's a damn Legend! How many people bought a Legend for its driving dynamics?

I'm not feeling the slammed look, but I loved the Legend coupe, and yours looks extremely clean. I think it looks more bling than rice though...

Serious question... How is the ride in cars with those huge (20in+) wheels? Isn't every defect in the pavement transferred to the interior?
BTW, nice and clean , dude. Let's see the NOX pack and under the hood.....

If you're going to put money into something, you should be putting that money into improving something useful. Improving looks is pointless. Improve function, improve balance.

And a lot of people actually did buy the Legend for driving dynamics. It was more controlled and better handling than the American sedans at the time though it can't come remotely close to the rear-drivers from Europe.

So says ZV... Why bother wasting money washing your car? It does nothing useful for it.

its got a clean look to it (other than the bling bling wheels), i definitely wouldn't mind cruising in a car like that...

i have a thing for white cars with black/dark gray rims, so that's the only thing i'd change...

Washing a car prevents paint deterioration and inhibits corrosion. It also increases safety because if the lights and glass aren't clean then visibility is impaired. A car that is kept clean will last longer in good condition. It is especially important in the winter to wash salt off immediately in order to prevent salt corrosion. Washing does many, many useful things for a car.
