    boser hoods or eyelids

    I don't get it, obviously some people like them, but I never have.
    I would love for someone to change my mind, but I haven't seen a good example yet...

    I at least have a different image in my head for "full coilovers" than just "coilovers" when it comes to E36s...

    but I would rather there be a distinction that avoids the confusion...

    I don't think you realize that tons of cars have the separate rear struts and springs..

    Coilovers by definition are actually just the adjustable springs that go OVER the strut. Hence coil OVER. They are full coilover systems in my opinion, because up front it is a full coilover and in the rear, it is separated because that is how the car is designed, aftermarket companies have no choice but to follow how the car is designed... So really they are full coilover system in regards to FK's that you mentioned, same as the StanceWorks/AST coilovers that they had made... In regards to Ground Control those are actually called coilover sleeves, and can go right over the strut in most cases. So really they too are "full" coilover setups.. Which really annuls your argument.

    Although it's classier just to put a yellow strip of tape on your rear lip.

    But I love drift/track status trends.

    Roof racks on a tiny slammed sports car? Fuck yes

    Mis matched wheels? Fuck yes (just please don't leave the track with mismatched wheels... that just looks stupid, unless you were stupid enough to ruin your good tires on your matching wheels and you are forced to daily drive in mismatched wheels)

    Oh, and this is slightly off topic, but goes under calling stuff the wrong stuff (wheels as rims etc) because you are ignorant.

    I **** it when people call non coil-over-oil layout adjustable suspension "coilovers". Like the Ground Control kits for the E30, or the FK coilovers for the E36 (http://www.esetuning.com/FK-Automoti...-p/fkxbm50.htm) where the spring and strut is separate at the back with the springs sitting in the OEM perch with threaded spacers.

    Coilovers mean the suspension is compacted into one assembly mounted on the outer edge of the suspension arm.

    Well that makes sense... I just thought it was a silly "jdm" thing that people just did. I probably could have realized this if I thought about it a little more...

    I actually quite like these fart cannon tips.

    And if you drift, you can get away with shit like a brightly colored wide body with ridiculous overfenders (safety reason so there isn't too much poke and come and contact with something and cause an accident etc).

    Or a bright red tow hook coming out the front (to make tow hook visible). And toys hanging out off your rear tow hook (to mark out rear tow hook).

    I **** low cars with proper fitting wheels and stretched tires. I mean really what's the point of driving your car like that? It's so dumb.

    Had to do it Matt...

    I'm not a fan of people who think they need to run the most rubber they can on their wheels and look like rally cars.

    The other thing I **** is the way that MK4's rear wheel moves forward in the wheel arch when slammed, don't get me wrong, I love MK4's and would love to own a slammed one but it just looks off when the tire is almost slammed into the front edge of the wheel well and there is like a foot of gap on the back.
