Those modifications are not only saved for the imports. I've seen some of the Contours on this site have some of those same mods done. Maybe not that big of a wheel, but definitely wheel swaps, shaved handles, and custom paint jobs and who knows what else on the interior. Don't hate just because it's an import.
it's true that contour owners do these kind of mods, but only because they want to. The only mods I've done to my car that make it look differently or look btter were actually done for some other benefit(wider lighter rims and a loweres suspension for better handling). The import scene guys
HAVE to do this kind of stuff or thier car just blends in to the boring souless sea of hondas and DSMs.
