i think he meant about experiences. Yea..someone must have this kind of experience. exampple like, some people tend to be 'ricer' / 'ahbeng' before they could be the 'smart modder'.
for me, my bad experience is, i once put a buddyclub bumper on my lowered wira. (that time ahbeng rules)..then after go out the paint shop, the bumper crack already. so, pakai that bumper for a week then change back to the old bumper.
then my sideskirt flew off at the highway while driving. then my spoiler become a tempat jemur kain. a lot of ahbeng thingy i done before. now, i sell those wira off, then buy a putra. Just stick it to the original. "sleeper". hehe.
the good experience about modding the outside, if u mod it nicely, ppl tend to go "whoaa" even mat rempit oso. but fuck them.

never liked to mod exterior...
me use kancil, if go for JDM such as Mira L2/L5, the J*J goes nut chasing u
if customed, hate it when the fiber parts go flappy when driving at speed... as bro vitrous sez... it'll come flying around...
last year witness a wira then it's front canard ( i think) just came off... then a minute later, the GT spoiler came off (tinggal kaki je
), nearly misses my car :afraid:
I'll stick wif my ori bodikit thank you....

Hahaha....yeah Vitrous thats what I was talking about...adding bodykits and then having them cracking faster then 0-100km/h.
I have not modded on exterior in my life just engine performance...its always so enticing looking at cars with really cool bodykits and spoilers, so its kinda cool to hear from guys whom had some good experiences like maybe...after a mod the car seemed to get better handling at high speeds or bad ones like the whole freakin vibrates....ect ect...

whether a not the bodykits goes flying at high speed depends on the installer and quality of fiber.
If you fiber is thin as hell or if your installer never install it properly, apa benda also fly lar.
I am driving a putra with fiber bonnet, fiber bumper, fiber side skirt, fiber spoiler
have done 230 at a lonely NKVE, everything is still intact wert. nothing rather, nothing shake.
btw, my front bumper is being held with just 2 screws as opposed to the original bumpers which is held with 6 screws and a few clips.
Boils down to installer expertise

like bodykits installed by accessory shops vs dedicated bodykit shop ya?
watched my fren installed bodykit into his honda sm4.... the banglas there installed, then the boss come in and check.... if she's (yeah... the boss is a woman
) not satisfied, she make the banglas do it again... end result, took the whole day just to install front lip, sideskirt and rear addons... but end result....after 3 months no issue
bad experience:
an ultra famous fiber shop in sunway custom made my front grille and took 3 weeks to kao tim everythin plus paint, quote me rm650 AND it didnt fuckin fit properly...tempted to name d shop but do try guessing...

Any body parts that is NOT OEM, professional fitted, and was either custom made or bought from accessory shop ... to me is not qualified and unsafe ... Like those just said, the parts might fly off ... And why do u think the OEM bumper so freakin expensive ? They can safe your ass in a crash ! Do those fibre bodykits do so ? I doubt it ... Mostly i saw is crack here and there, the car totalled ... And one more thing, aerodynamic ! Those superlow bodykits in GT race or other tuners uses, all are created from various calculations and some of them might tested in wind tunnel ... So get a life, if you think looks more important, welcome to ricer world ... For me i stay outta that ... I stick to original !!
not all people like the OEM parts. I have to say that my fiber bumper took more beating than my OEM bumper (original putra bumper, not the taiwan made ones)Any body parts that is NOT OEM, professional fitted, and was either custom made or bought from accessory shop ... to me is not qualified and unsafe ...

but one thing i hate is that to get this kinda quality fiber bumper, it gotta be thick and that makes it freaking heavy.
wind tunnel and bla bla bla....... how fast are u gonna go till u need all those lar
before bodykits, my car is doing bout 13km per liter
After adding all those heavy bodykits, it is still going around 13km per liter.
I would say it makes no difference besides looking different.
so whether to be poisoned by bodykits or not, it is up to personal preference.
And yeah, i heard lots of stories bout the bodykit shop in Sunway. Luckily mine is buy all over the place and install myself.
=P
Not align but i am still satisfied
