Depends on what your taste is....For instance, I think the GS in your signature looks terrible. I'd rather have the ride height of an AWD than a car that's lowered to that extent. When a car is lowered too much, it makes the car look cheaper, almost like something a 17-year old would drive. I want my car to maintain the classy image, and keeping it as close to stock as possible, with a few minor upgrades is my goal.

Does it matter what anyone thinks about your car? It's your concept and if your happy with it then don't worry what other people say. If we went with everyone's suggestions, all of our cars would look the same.

He stated his opinion, then I stated mine. What's the problem?

Nice home..........but
on the rims of both cars. I respect your opinion on lowered cars etc. But it is just a fact that lowered cars will always look better than non-lowered vehicles. It is the same reason why exotic cars and sports cars will have a much more lowered stance compared to others for the reasons of performance, and visual appearance. The same applies to lexus and all other auto manufacturer's who offer perfomance suspension upgrades for enhanced performance and an aggressive stance. If you don't like lowered cars then that's totally cool, but by no means does it look "cheap" nor does it look like something a 17 year old would drive. I guess all of the people who drive a lowered or slammed Lexus are looking like a bunch of cheap 17 year olds? Please ban the VIP scene then, what are those Japanese thinking, its a land of cheap looking drivers

Did you even read my post? I said that excessively lowered vehicles, in my opinion, look bad. I never said that all lowered vehicles look bad.

tsavo, I agree that extremely lowered vehicles looks bad and I am not in the league of VIP world. It’s fun to look at these Japanese VIP vehicles but will I ever do it even if I have too much $$ to burn? Not a chance. It's just a personal taste, no biggie.
I do like the house in the picture! That to me is enough said.
maying856, I have to disagree that all lowered cars will always look better than non-lowered vehicles unless you consider lowering a Hummer, for example. However, most small cars (sedan & coupe) look better when lowered... if done right.
