In my opinion, that would look dumb, but I'd never
tell that person he can't or should'nt do it, he has
the right to, I just think it would look dumb, the
point here is that there are some purists & people who
are against modding that say you SHOULD'NT modify
anything & they rain on this kids parade just cause
they don't like what he did, but you right, taste is
taste, mine is different from someone elses & vice
versa but that being said you should'nt listen to
people who say you can't or shouldn't do it cause' the
masses don't like it....dig?
