Is "oem looks+good quality and features" an impossible combination when it comes to aftermarket head units? Almost every radio available has that ugly glossy glass over black finish.
For example pic related looks good, but it's a 2x15W radio.

Does anyone know if it's legal to remove both front and rear car emblems, and/or replace them?
I already have my front one removed, after I changed the grill, and I'd like to stick a custom 3D printed emblem on the rear. Any info would be much appreciated, I couldn't find anything good on Google. I'm in Canada btw. Pic unrelated.

I blame Americans for this, I mean this fucking fashion of white cars...
The car is good, the 350 is definitely the perfect engine (apart from the RC-F V8), because this car is a comfy "little GT".

Backup cameras will be mandatory in the US and Canada starting in 2018.
Does this mean I won't be able to get a car without a shitty infotainment system after this year?

Some cars have the backup camera display on the rear view mirror.

That's a brutal indictment of just how shit American drivers are.

Not to mention how poor rear visibility has become- and it'll only get worse now that cameras are standard.

Today I tried starting my car, and it wouldn't start at first. When I turned the key it wouldn't crank, but the lights on the instrument cluster stayed on until I hit the brake. It did this like two weeks ago too. Anyone know what it might be?

Bad starter? Security system holding out the starter? Weak battery? We really need more information, OP.

My 2011 Octavia Wagon makes it from 0-60km/h in 4.9s. If your car is slower than a 6 year old wagon just leave.

What are the DIY supplies I'd need to repair the 3-4 small rust spots on my vehicle? It's a 1980 so I figured I'd need to learn how to do this myself sooner or later, because they're going to be coming back here and there.
Can some experienced anons weigh in on what are the most longest-lasting filling methods/products without welding new metal on(yet)?

Tiger hair (fibreglass filler), a sanding block, sandpaper 80, 180 and 340/360, primer and your choice of body paint.
The cleaner you grind the rust out first the longer it will last before it bubbles out again.
>>
>>16901338
what's the best way I can clean the rust out? I don't mind having to rent or borrow the tools to do it. I also wonder around how long I should expect to see another bubble.
1 or 2 every year? 2 years?

A polycarbide, or wire wheel and some kind of rust converter after cleaning most of the rust. Its also a good ide to rustproof the whole car after painting.

/o/, this man is fighting for a monument to Paul Walker. A statue to rival all statues.
What can we do to ensure this racing icon is an icon for future generations?

If FF1 had been a box office bomb, him and Vin would be nobodies in show business.
Also, he never had his car, man.

PANDA COLORS?
Bike guy, just got my first sports car.
Toyota MR2 W30
Picked it up cheap, runs good, doesn't burn (much) oil, shitty paint job.
I'm thinking about painting it white with a black hood. I'm not really an Initial D fan or anything, I just like the look. I'm sort of worried I'm walking into dangerous territory. Is there a bad stigma attached to that?
Please advise.

Luxury cars have lost their identity
they use to be large land barges with suspension so soft you wouldn't even feel a speed bump going 60mph, they werent extremely powerful but did have a large v8 with effortless power and got you and your passengers were you needed to go as comfortably as possible. They were meant to shut the world around you off.
Now they are just sports cars with a luxury package

Thank God for that.
But in all seriousness, You only need to look to the german brands, as the old habit of German luxury being sporty and American luxury being landbargy has flipped flopped.

i wuz had
I'm looking to buy a car, managed to save up 25,000 for it but am completely lost as to what type to buy. Looking for one that is fuel efficient (don't care much for looks) I just need something to keep me off the buss, getting tired of waking up an hour early so I can to make it to work on time.

Gonna add to this that you don't need 25k for a decent car.
They're all about equal except the Yaris is a bit more boring, in exchange for a teensy bit more fuel economy.
The Altima will honestly be a fun car, it'll just pull you around and it'll haul a family or more.
Golf will also be fun for the price range, and would be my fav. pick, it's a hatchback, so if you like that aesthethic, dew it, plus, if you're in Europe it'll be extra cheap to get the Golf.
I really want to stress to you OP, test-drive these cars, get a feel for them.
If I can give you one bit of advice when buying a car: give them a test-drive, ignore the statistics, only when fuel economy is OUTRAGEOUSLY bad, you don't wanna go for it (less than 18 mpg).
Get yourself a car that you ENJOY driving.
A car you can be excited about stepping into every morning and going to work.
Many people drive shitboxes all their lives and never try a more fun car, and that makes them think driving is a chore, it really doesn't have to be.
That is my grounds for suggesting you these cars instead of the cheapest fuel economy econoboxes around.
