But over time, I'm starting to think of them as being cool, and that car does not have to be completely original. Now this billet suspension is just too cool. Well I certainly don't have the money, but if I hit the lottery, I'll take one of each type of suspension.
Funny, that is really how I feel about it. Over time I have just gotten to like the billet stuff more and more. When I look at the old welded stuff (especially when you have to pick it up!) I just say "pass" now.
