I personally appreciate when someone takes a car and does mod work that looks clean and flows well, regardless of whether or not they use the best parts. If all you can afford is a Scion tC and some cheap parts, so be it. At least that person will take pride in what they are able to do. Too many people bankroll cars because of the status it confers on them. A true enthusiast is able to appreciate another's passion regardless of whether or not they have the best gear. I see idiots all the time in $100,000 sports cars who can't drive, who don't know anything about the car, and who only bought it to look cool. The fun comes in the passion for cars in general not in the fact that you can afford something.

Amen. I am fully financially capable of buying any wheel for my Z. I find a $4000 set of wheels that I am going to scratch up driving almost daily hard to justify. This is why I am looking for a less costly option.
