Mods Removed

Today my parents freaked out and made me put the emblems back on and made me fix my clear corners back and take out my cathodes and I didnt even get a picture or anything. They said that it was all illegal and pointless and that the clear corners and cathodes would affect my driving and that taking the emblems off affected insurance and crap it was all a bunch of lies but whatever so now im pissed....I dont know if I will be back on considering my parents wont let me do anything anyway.

haha, my dad is a little tense like that, and he has a right to be, he did buy the car, but just do what i do, work on your car when your parents aren't home, or go to a friends house, and dont let your parents near your car

[jackal2000]

that sucks dude, i would be waaaaay pissed

[alerored04]

ive got the same deal. good thing mine only care if im spending money so the cheap stuff is fine. itll be a scary day when they find out about the intraxes and the kyb's. ill probably have to run the exhaust and rims past them since those are kind of noticeable mods. sucks that your parents dont understand.

hahahahahaha..... kids

Well its just freaking stupid basically. If I wanted to put a cb or something in my car he would be behind me all the way but yea.thats stupid

I'm gonna like drive it off a freaking cliff so that way whatever breaks I might be able to fix my own custom way....if that made any sense

Thats sucks a lot dood.

I don't see anything that you did as illegal or insurance increasing

[Pimpalero03]

u think that is bad, try comming home with a body kit, making them freak.. THEN comming home with a bagged out ride. lol WOW they werent happy

[smlzalero]

:o That sucks ass!! I take it you're on their insurance, not your own? And is the car yours or theirs?

My car I payed for it, I pay for gas, I pay for insurance, I pay for new tires, New brakes, Everything, and I said that but they were like We are still your parents ladefrickingda so on so forth

[smlzalero]

Evil!!!

You can always just ignore them... :P
Worked for me.

My dad thinks he is a hardass he would probably just rip it all off anyway...

[alerored04]

depending on how much you have to rely on them you could just tell them to deal with it since you paid for it but pissing parents off is not a good thing.

i also own my car and am on my own insurance and they flip out...

i was washing my car one day and i had the hood open to wipe stuff down and my dad saw the intake and strut bar through the window and ran out....had to explain stuff for about 20 minutes....

good times

well my parents are being difficult i might just have to wait till i get out of this house before i do any car stuff....and i might not have the alero then

[Cliff8928]

That's crazy that you can't do any of that stuff... Before I was of legal age the only thing i was ever complained at about were things that woke people up at night LOL! Tomorrow I'll be getting a new cat-back made for my dad's Crossfire (2004, 2500 miles on it). I guess it's a good thing that everyone's parents aren't the same.

my parents dont give a crap at all, in fact my dad has helped me do almost all of it so far and he is helping me pay for my lastest projects

that sucks man...thats some wacked insurance company if they're gonna raise ur rate if u take ur emblem off....parents just lie to piss their kids off i swear!!
my parents dont kno anything about cars so they dont really care what i do...i disabled my Daytime running lights and dad kinda was mad about that cuz he's afraid its gonna effect my warranty...totally not gonna. and he thinks my HIDs are WAY too bright(they are but they look hot!!! ) and he thinks the tint is gonna get me killed or that im gonan run over someone cuz its so dark...lol!!
my mom's just like 'whatever. its ur car, u paid for it, u pay for insurance, do whatever you want to it as long as u pay for it'...
dad's just oold school...i mean he IS 62 :P

You should talk to them again, or just ignore them. It's your car and you pay for everything so they don't have a right to complain about your car. In early summer 2003 I was driving a 1995 Accord and I spent about $4500.00 in one month. My car came home with rims, coilovers, new lights all around, wings west lip kit, and a few minor engine mods. The summer before I spent about $2000 on the stereo and alarm. My parents thought I was crazy and were a little upset but would never tell me to take stuff off because it was my car and I paid for everything. You have to tell your parents that it's yours and you can do what you want with it. I was still living at home when I had the Honda and was working full time.
