Its funny the people that are not answering OP's question, but instead telling him he shouldn't care. Clearly he does, he created this thread, and telling him he shouldn't is pretty rude. Being aware of the image your projecting into the world is a totally valid thing and OP is simply asking for peoples opinion. It would also seem to me that anyone that didn't care what other people thought wouldn't be doing ricey cosmetic mods in the first place. Also the people that i know that truly don't care what other people think generally tend to be self absorbed jerks.

Most of the time the people passing judgment onto someone else they have never met are so self absorbed that they are blinded by their own insecurities.

You can be what ever person you wanna be, but people are going to judge you and it will effect your life. Thats just the way it is.

Ok so I was out in my family car on the weekend and drove up behind a really nice stanced Supra, when I came up next to it of course you look over to see who is driving it, half expecting some young dude with a cap on who has poured his life savings into it but, I see this old silver fox behind the wheel, the wife looks over too and says oh another old guy like you in a car ment for his son and gives out a giggle. Ok so I'm thinking others are thinking this too, I know you all on here will say you can drive whatever car you want etc, but I'm wondering is the more slammed or riced a car is does this make an old guy look silly at the wheel? Do you know what I mean? Does grey hair and ricing actually work? lol

I'm 58 and have grey hair. I have: 1989 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R (2 door turbo/intercooler RWD), a 2016 Evo IX-MR (397HP), and a daily Outlander Sport SE AWC. I don't care what other people think, nor should you. I've been into JDM before most of these 'kids' were even born! They can look anyway they want to at me, or my car...I'm the one 'laughing'...They think what they are doing is so 'new, cool, or awesome', when in reality, it's been done way before they were even born, lol.
How many threads on here we do we see where 'these guys' are blowing perfectly good motors, or burning clutches at 10K miles and wondering why? Nine times out of ten, it's not one of 'us'. Oh, and flame me all you want, it won't bother me any...

The fact of the matter is you can't control what others think or do. The question was are people laughing at me and YES! people are laughing especially when they see someone driving a car that is modded with stretched tires, scraping sparks, little doodads and wing dings on the car, Red/pink/ whatever color highlights etc. wrinkled and even rusty fender rolls done with a baseball bat, suspension so stiff and not damped that the car is undrivable over 25 mph, a wing that never saw a wind tunnel. Yes people are laughing. Many of us here are laughing.
