You LET them be proud? Posting pics is not flaunting your money, this is a truck forum and guys show each other their trucks, and by the way my mods are all about function. I would not do that to my truck either, but I can appreciate the work he has done, we don't want all of our trucks to look the same, now do we?
I dont know on the whole posting pics flaunting money thing.... Someone posted pics of their home made air actuated reverse lights that are stealth. He probably has less then 50 bucks in those and is proud as hell of his work (and he REALLY should be). That is in no way trying to flaunt money. Also, as much as I have been a prick in this thread to the OP and to the guy with 24's, I dont think the OP started this thread to flaunt money. He wanted to show off the WORK that he had done, which the quality of work was great (even if the sound stage is all messed up, there goes my prick side again). I dont think anyone posts pics to flaunt, and alot of people dont mod their truck to either. On the other hand ALOT of people do mod their truck to show how much money they have.
To sum it up.... Im a prick. Im sorry for putting down other's trucks because its not my style. We all need to get along.

Your not being a prick but sound staging is not what this truck is built for. Its all about loud and flashy. Thats what he wanted thats what he got. If he wanted sound Q then it wouldnt have had 1/3 that crap in there. 10 years ago I helped work on the number 2 and number 3 car stereos in IASCA. They were a in a 300Z and a Acura Legend. Will try to find pix of the Aura I have htem somewhere.
Thanks thats my lil brothers car its got a built motor and freshly rebuilt trans plus a 3.55 gear. He likes to redneck drift that thing everywhere. he has had it about 4 months and its on its 4 set of rear tires.

I guess you just pin pointed exactly why that truck isnt my preference, I dont like loud and flashy.... Nice work though.
