What I hate the most is the stretched tires and even more if the lip of the wheel is sticking out ugh...
Stance movement is as far as I will ever go. Going further than that takes too much effort just to look "illest".
whats the difference between hella flushed and stanced??
Its a trend. Trends come and go and their not for everyone. You either like it or not.
Other trends that are starting to catch up are Boso(Bosozuko sp?) pipes and external oil coolers. VIP (pronounced veep) is another trend not everyone likes.
Some one correct me if im wrong but from what I understand, stanced is lowered cars with good fitment. Hella flush is just slamming the car as low as you can go.
Fuck hellaflush. Its just the new generation of rice.

Flush = looks tuff

HellaFlush = looks broken and stupid imho
lol you guys are trying wayyyyyy too hard with your lingo.
When did 'stance' become a verb or even an adjective?
I've got no beef with it. I know of/have ridden in cars that get driven harder than any of the cars on this forum every weekend (or more) without an issue on stretched tires.
As long as you execute it well, it can be cool.
That said, I've never seen anyone on here execute it well, IMO.
Youve never been at a meet and someone says "man that car has some serious stance!" ?
For me this isnt about tire stretch its about the insane amounts of negative camber AND stretched tires like the last picture I posted. People just one up others with more negative camber and smaller tires on wider wheels. THAT is the part I am talking about personally. Nobody was dissing anyone on the forum until you dropped that line. Kinda messed up. Not trying to be rude I'm just calling it how I see it. You always bust in a thread and do stuff like that man. Its just disheartening.
I generally ignore the morons who say that kind of stuff.
The people I hang around with at meets use words that exist within the covers of your standard Webster's Dictionary.
As do I since I dont really like losing brain cells by the second.
But seriously.
Hellaflush is a term used by morons, at least when used in the real world.
OP, just build the car you want to, if that means putting some mad tight 17x7 +45 wheels on your car, go ahead.
It's so stupid tho, like when it gets to the point of the car actually oil pan dragging & shit. This guy in this black 99 Civic passed me the other day, & this dumbasses tranny was scraping along the road as he was driving.
This about sums up what I think: http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_artic...ella-fail.aspx
lol, that article is amazing.
OP appears to be a youngster ranting about something. Lack of grammar and fairly foul language leads me to believe this is a keyboard warrior.
Eh people take all this shit too seriously. If there is one thing I've learned from being a car guy is to not GIVE A FLYING FUCK about what everybody else thinks. I built my car the way I did because I FUCKING LIKE IT! So stfu, sit down and build something.
What I honestly feel is, the most critical of people when it comes to other people's cars are the people who have never built anything worth talking about.
If you don't think this car is cool. Quit cars now. This is King.

I like most of that car except for the cage and the huge spacers that were used.
No spacers.
Not as cool.

People have completely different tastes and styles. I don't like either one of those cars personally. They are well done, but not my flavor. But ill get trash talked cause I have said this. Not that I care. I like my style and I do what I like. I'm not here to conform or impress anyone. Just myself. The OP should take not and do the same. Enjoy YOUR car!
let me help you with that http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stance
how is this guy not banned i see him trolling threads all day long.
and yes i used the word trolling, and yes its not in the dictionary.
all hype lol. Its cool if people are trying to go for show car quality with all that camber, However overdoing it has no performance gains like chopping springs. As long as people care about their car and what they put into it then they aren't being a ricer. It's like wearing clothes some people just wear whatever and go out some like to wear hoodies or jackets and some just wear t shirts. It's all about what someone likes and what their style is. Granted a slammed rusty car with dents everwhere is horrible and i will never accept that . There are however many people in the illest and hella flush society that spend thousands on rims and name brand bodykits to make their ride look good. If they like it then good for them lol.
unless that is the look you are going for, read rat rodQuote:
Granted a slammed rusty car with dents everwhere
im not a big fan of rat rods , I like keeping my car clean and not slammed to the point where i scrape at every speed bump going 1mph .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rArpyMXT2ew
the only car that i understand why it is beat down dents everywhere are drift cars. I guess just personal preference, hell I always handwash my car every week because I dont like driving around in a dirty car on the outside as a daily grocery getter
both of those 240's are too "cookie cutter-ish" for me, and the forward hoops on that cage are too funny
WELP guess i wont be posting my car here for 2013 lol
Wait what is cookie cutter about those cars?
Last I checked not many dudes were running wide AVS Model 5 or giant negative offset Weds Cerberus, or stupid expensive nearly impossible to come by aero.
But hey, if you modify a car with any aftermarket it must be cookie cutter.
mmmmmmmmm cookie. . . . . .

I know right! What kind of monkey thinks a cage that doesn't brace the firewall is useful? I guess when they only plan on hitting things sideways it might work, but wait, not really.
I guess my thing is I prefer to have a car that is actually able to be driven, if you have to take off the front bumper to get it out of your driveway without scraping the ground it just loses its fun. An old friend of mine likes to drop his cars on the ground like that and then he gets mad and upset when he hits a pothole and grinds a hole in his oil pan, thats just an extreme that I can't justify. Its one thing to drop it for a show, but for christ sake when you drive it on the street actually make it safe to have on the street.
x2! I personally like the look of "stanced" cars, but not the "hellaflush" with ridiculous negative camber. I do think stanced cars are not practical whatsoever for DD though, and should be left for show cars only that are not really street driven. My G is pretty low and I am scraping the splash guards and my front fenders, and not to mention going over lumps and bumps on the fwy makes me cringe. I can't fathom being a DD any lower in LA. The style reminds me a lot of old school lowrider's though, stretched tires and scraping the entire underside from being too low. It's another style that you will either love, hate, or not care about. No reason to bash the style though...
This car is static and has been daily driven year round for the last 3 years at this height:

I'm sure it has, but I know the ride quality absolutely stinks, and the underside of that car prob looks like the car in pictured in the article that Qnz posted. Being that its a newer car, a lot of those suspension parts prob weren't that bad before he slammed it. Doing that to any car, and especially a car that is 10+ years old, is going to degrade the already aging parts even more and a lot quicker than normal.
4g63lover, you called it. i do what i like. i take my time on what i visualize will look right though, but the world would be extremely Boring if everything looked the same.
