Same stanced cars getting features all the time

[b00f]

The cheaper the car, the more balls the owner usually has to do something drastic with it. Your car is nice, but just looks like a guy with money built a cool daily driver. Personally I like cars that stand out a mile away, but yours, I may or may not even notice it if I saw it on the road.

QFT.

Compare a E60 to an E28...

I'd use a sledge hammer to roll the guards on the E28, and probably pay a Micro surgeon to Roll them on the E60 :P

Of course wheel companies and purists said it wouldnt work, they aren't the recommended sizes.

Yep. When I ordered the lips for my fikses I had to lie to them that I had a widebody or they refused to do it. I even had to make up measurements of my widebody. lol

That is because the "similar styles", get this, look good.

Idk why that made me laugh so much.


OP, I really can't say that I've ever seen a car featured that I felt didn't deserve it, especially here on SW. They're not always exactly my style, but I can always understand and appreciate the appeal... hell I usually always end up drooling over them. You need to get some air bags or some (even wider) polished up 19s or 18s and slam and camber the car. Don't do it for us. Do it for yourself because it'll be so dope you won't even give a shit about getting a feature- but then you def would get featured.

Fitment does not = stance. Stance is the car as a whole, not just what wheels you have and how flush they are..

If many of the forums said it couldnt be done, you probably never asked us, because here at Stanceworks, Anything is possible

Im with Ox...

Stance is about the whole overall look
Personally, I dont think the car needs to be heavily modified to have "Stance".

I know what you are sayin though..

Lots of cars shown on here, you see alot of, as stated, because people know what those chassis and bodies are capable of.
I enjoy seeing people doing things different. Which it appears you are. Don't winge about features though man. Not everyone can have their time to shine... not matter how much coin they have dropped on their ride...

I am slowly "stancing" my N13 Pulsar. Something I have NEVER seen with decent fitment, or "stanced" for that matter. Im doing it because I like the car, and it is different. not because I want to get featured, (not that I think I ever will) or anyone else likes it.

Ps.

Recommended Specs are for Pussies!

its getting retardedly rare to see cars being stanced that havent been done before (e60 for example) and getting absolutely no features or recognition for it outside of a small thread

sorry but i had to rant, my car is getting nowhere with this and plain jane cars keep getting advertised and its very disheartening

Sure, this thread wasn't about you feeling your car deserves a feature....

yes i look at the main page a lot and that e30 doesnt look special to me, its looks nice but ive seen similar styles done before

That is because the "similar styles", get this, look good. That is why there is a whole site dedicated to low cars, with fitted wheels.

Honestly, your argument is unfounded, the featured cars have a bunch of variety, or simply look good. Your car didn't get featured because it sits somewhat high, and the CF/Wheel color isn't to mosts tastes. If it is how YOU wanted, enjoy it!

Sure on forums a lot of people have similar cars, but there is only so much people can do before the once unique content gets to be common place. It seems to me that you are riding your high horse because your car costs a lot and so do the parts for your car. If E60's were cheap, I can almost guarantee that they would be extremely common, and not "rare". Lets think about E28's right now, how often will you see a car like Mikes or Moose's? Not often at all, but you see stanced e28's all over the place.

I hope you realize that nothing but quality gets featured here, and on a lot of sites now. Of course there are people out there running fake wheels, and this is not going to turn into one of those debates, but you need to come to realize that people are realizing how cheaply they can get their car sitting proper and make it look good. Yes there are a lot of the same cars popping up, but what do you expect. Not everyone has a completely rare car, sure there are a ton of cars out there running CCW LM20's or BBS RS's, but its not just the wheels/fitment that makes the car, its everything else that goes into it, the static ride height, or laying frame on bags, with perfect fitment, a shaved bay, amazing interior. There is a lot more that goes into it than just wheel fitment. While you may think that these cars are all cookie cutter, look at the mod lists on some of them, somethings you don't even think about and they have done it, its not just about the big things but the minor details that give it character.

Right, it was not the recommended spec for your vehicle. No one here runs recommended specs.

[PraiseTheLowered]

Of course wheel companies and purists said it wouldnt work, they aren't the recommended sizes.

You're right though, nothing but low budget piles of shit pop up on the main page here... lol, do you even look at the main page?

Sorry boss, but that e30 that is 2 posts down smashes your e60.

its not that they arent the recommended sizes, it was that that offset and widths had never been done before especially the inner barrels

yes i look at the main page a lot and that e30 doesnt look special to me, its looks nice but ive seen similar styles done before

[Brad Pitts]

they way i view stance is a combination of fitment n ride height. u have the fitment down but because of wheel size u choose it limits u on ride height. thats just how i look at it. now say u had m-tech kit or somethin that made body of car seem lower it would help alot more. the reason the other e60 on first page stands out more is because of its ride height to me atleast. its not always the quality or cost of parts u buy its the package as a whole that makes the car what it is. id rather see a car that has oem or rep wheels(even tho i prefer real) that is super slammed wit great fitment even id its been done before just wit a diff variation than a car that has all the most expenaive/rare/looked for parts that doesnt flow well. i use to see a civic at local car shows that had all kinds of really nice parts some rare n expensive too. as individual parts thwy were great but as a whole the car lookes like crap. it just looked like someone bought all the most wanyed stuff n put it on his car not caring if it flowed just to win trophies n have people tell him how cool his car was. a car that flows even wit minimal mods will always catch my attention over thw one that is over done n has no style.

getting featured was more about the fitment, that was really it, that it could be done and look good doing it. EVERY wheels company said it couldnt work and so did many of the forums. I thought having it stanced would make it stand out from the crowd so i built it around that idea

That's cause 95% of E60 owners are of age 55+

Young people own E30's and E34's and E28's (most anything pre-00 German) and sporty jap cars. Sorry but newer Euro cars are just too expensive. Only those with large disposable incomes will be able to stance those E60's and E92's and what not. It's not that no one is trying but that an E30 is a SHITLOAD cheaper to stance than an E92. Considering most of the people on this site are either A in high school/College. or B under 40 with a good enough paying job to do what they love.

This^^^^^


That Jag is hott. If you know of more exotic cars that are stanced...well then get them here and we can do a feature!

[PraiseTheLowered]

wow i didnt check this thread for like a day, lots of responses

let me clear up some things

i built this car for myself, i did the mods i thought looked the best and the ones that i liked the most

getting featured was more about the fitment, that was really it, that it could be done and look good doing it. EVERY wheels company said it couldnt work and so did many of the forums. I thought having it stanced would make it stand out from the crowd so i built it around that idea

getting it featured would be awesome but my main gripe is that many of the cars that are being shown as excellent examples of the stance movement are cookie cutter. They are done with cheap wheels and no creativity and they get featured. To me that makes little sense because like the stanced Jag that is up now, its always been about the rare and unique.

To me its just id like to see more exclusive stances, and this jag is an awesome example of that

if the thread came off as "you guys all suck, give me a feature" then i apologize, i was heated and had a heated discussion about the blandness of whats been going on

i appreciate the feedback that everybody has given me about my car, its given me some ideas on future mods but to be clear i built this car for me, to my tastes and i love it

this was a rant on the constant same cars popping up all over the web

[Brad Pitts]

Being humble about it all surpasses ANY "feature" anyone gets.

amen sadly that isnt they way it is all the time

[Han]

it is pretty ironic because a lot of these cars are simply wheels and a drop and they get featured so i find it funny because it takes no real creativity or effort on their part

I didn't read the whole thread, but isn't that what this whole "scene" is all about? It's not about how much money or the amount of "mods" done to it. It's about the stance. And if the stance is nice simply by wheels/tires and suspension, then so be it?

Plus, the reason you see the same cars over and over again is because either: they can fit amazing spec'd wheels, have the fenders for it, the drop for it or they're just popular in general.

I haven't had a feature I don't think, but plenty of people recognize me and/or my car, so that's enough recognition for me. Being humble about it all surpasses ANY "feature" anyone gets.
