giant spoilers on a FWD car because its pointless, .
its not pointless, it puts more downforce on the rear wheels for cornering grip. wings are not solely intended for forward traction on the drive wheels.
i'm not a fan of removing one high beam on older bmw's... just looks unfinished.
the fact that most cars being featured on a lot of these 'stance' websites have very few, if any, engine modifications
Why does a "stanced" car have to have engine modifications? Trust me, I am muchhhh more of a go-fast guy than I am a "stance" guy, but if someone is building a cool, fun, simple DD (15,000+ miles/year), having a lot of engine modifications is stupid.
Plus, modding a car to go fast is normally a lot more expensive than lowering one on wheels. If you buy used coilovers and used wheels you could actually make a profit 3 years down the road if you put the car back to stock, try making a profit after go-fast mods, hardly ever happens.
i dislike cars that have hardly any work done to them but the owners act like they know the "right" way to build a car. if you really know whats up, then wheres your example?
there is no formula to go off, people like what they like and **** what they ****, as this thread clearly shows.
my list includes, but not limited too:
all black wheels
midwings
4 door cars with different % tint on the front and back windows
BOV's
"wheel whore" sticker on a car with stock wheels/stock hight (or any other situation like that)
tow hooks
stuff hanging off tow hooks
sticker bombed anything
and midwings
Over stretched CHEAP tires, I can't stand the look of rim beads being exposed like that. I'm all for stretched tires, I've been doing it for over a decade, but with the explosion of the stance scene people are going overboard, like a pissing contest of who can put the smallest tire on the widest rim, while completely missing the point. Also if your gonna do it, use a quality tire like Toyo T1-S/R or any of the German varieties (conti or dunlop) that have lip protectors built in so that your entire bead is not exposed.
The stretched tire idea came from Germany in the late 80's early 90's with all new aftermarket rims coming out in variety of offsets meant to fit different models of cars. In Germany there is a TUV law that states that your tire tread (top of the tire) cannot protrude out beyond the fender like Jeep Wrangler style. Because of this the tire stretching was born, but within reason, whatever was still in spec for the tire's safety rating.
