    What do you put up with in the name of stance?

    The no-liner fender dents.


    The tire wear.



    The sidewall rubbing (Excuse the status of the lips when the picture was taken).


    The frame/sway bar/axle rubbing.


    The skid plate smacking.


    The miscellaneous dragging.

    Got some similar damage...My sidewall is totally scraped off, you can't read what tire size it is anymore...my left front fender is all fucked up from the tire hitting it when I was turning and hit a bump, paints all burned on the quarter panels from tires rubbing, paints chipped on front fenders from rolling them, fender liners are chewed to shit, frame rails are scraped up from when they did construction right in front of my neighborhood, lost one of the big plastic shields that goes down the whole underside of my car, etc.

        I have to say this thread makes me feel so much better, I destroyed my front lip today.

          I always wondered what that was in your signature when you had that part of your muffler as it. haha. Rusty's the most epic.

            Same problems as Rusty plus burnt fenders. I need to take pictures of them, they look cool.

                running over dead dogs in the middle of the interstate:








                Smelled like a mongolian bbq under my car for about a month... RIP dog.

                Notice the tires... now running a stretched 30 series, and no more problems minus feeling every pebble in the road surface. The things we do to stay low.

                  Broke the oil pan in Chicago with M Burroughs, Phil, and Mike from Fluid. No pics, but we did an all night patch job which looked like this when I got around to changing the oil pan.



                  And upgraded the skid plate to accomodate (1/4" steel plate over 1/8" steel bars).



                  Here is a pic for fun:

                    "Sigh" couldn't agree more.

                      Pulled off my fuel filter the other day on a speedbump

                      multi point turns, other drivers honking at you for swerving, breaking off lips weekly, busted month old converter, etc.

                            Wow! How did that happen?

                            Also, Is it safe to have the sidewall rubbing against the fender so much? I'm not slammed but I can smell burning rubber when I drive on a bumpy road for just a few seconds. Don't want a blow-out eek.
