Fake.

That's a $30k+ car, not a $15k car. $15k will get you a high mileage early E46 M3, maybe.

Rusty, I think they're fake too. Skinny girls like that usually don't have that cup size. I could name names here, but I won't.

Pete: That don't make no sense!

I believe they exist. They might not be OEM, but they do exist, therefore they are real.

So, like, maybe this thread should be titled: "OEM or Aftermarket?"

As I told my wife yesterday, I'm far from being a purist. But there are some things that should be left stock.

I have seen some very impressive stock installations. Unfortunately, I have no evidence I am able to share.

On my local Craigslist I regularly see cars like that selling for $4800. I don't know how it is in other parts of the country but for some reason the scammers who post here always use that same price; doesn't matter what the car (M3, 350Z, Prius, whatever) they always have them priced at $4800. At least it makes it easy to find and flag them.

I think that while some of the aftermarket installations look nice, you won't get the performance that the OEM installed units will have. This is all OEM.

I once saw a Countach replica built on a Fiero frame. It looked hot but when you tried to play with it it was still a pontiac. Needless to say I've known some FUN Fieros!

It's been flagged. Removed. No more entertainment. I had nasty plans. Nevermind.

I tend to agree on a preference for natural OEM features.

But, there's this to suggest an alternative view:

A win/win situation, either way!

That pic was a couple years ago. '05, I think. Here's this year: I'm really just a kid (same age as MARGIE).

Geez Doc, that's the third photo of you that I've seen in the last 24 hours. Have you got a new publicist?

...and I'm not sure it's possible to look Dutch, but if it is, you do.
Oct. 2, 2009 9:19 p.m. Dr. Hess SuperDork

Yeah, I pay the Dr.Hess Publicity Service to get Pics of Me out on teh 1ntr4w3b, yo. And for some strange reason, I do look Dutch. Must be because my entire family on both sides as far back as the beginning of time are from some country the size of Orange County. Actually, they are all from the equivalent of Northwest Orange County. When my hair gets long, it flares out like the kid on the Dutchboy paint can. Then I know it's time for a haircut. When I went there, it was kinda weird. Everywhere I went, everyone looked just like me. It was sort of like going to a family reunion, only different.
