Mods you "****" for dumb reasons

i **** rice

Pretty much sums it up for me.

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.

I've gotta disagree with that whole post but on the tyre subject. My continentals have had the least lip protection out of all the tyres I've owned (which is why I liked them)

yall must **** it...

big wing
red tow hook
CCWs

Oh yeah, There's a pic of a WRX wagon with RS's that needs to die. Don't mind RS's too much but that car is horrible

[MrJereMoose]

one could argue that japan started it with the bosozuko style. japan has similar rules as TUV and they have to pass a JCI inspection every 2 years. im not an expert but by looking at the boso style cars, it came before the late 80s/ early 90s.

edit:

looks like it started there in the 70s

Different amount of camber in the front vs the back is something i dislike.
Only okay if it has a purpose. Like a matter of grip in the corners etc.

[PaidInGum]

I just **** bodykits...

[Nick Nick]

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

Camber looks good.

And engine mods have nothing to do with "stance", so why does it matter?

Yes!

And exactly!

[M.Burroughs]

camber for no reason (but wearing out the rear tires on your DD in 5k miles)

the fact that most cars being featured on a lot of these 'stance' websites have very few, if any, engine modifications

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Did I mention rubbish BMX's on roof racks at shows?

[hypercrush]

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.

I swear all you do is try and start fights. Car has a use a track car, so the parts on it also have a use..

[Rally]

Just regular badgeless and Kamei I really like... Other than that I'll take stock...

I always liked the siedel jetta grill as well. Badgeless and won't sag.
