can someone enlighten me on why one would want to customize their car to that "look"?

It looks too low to ride on the streets, is there an adjustable height?
How are those rear tires going to wear out with that camber?

She has it slammed for show. It's fully adjustable, and can/will be raised when the car is driven.

As mentioned, the car is on Airrunner Air Suspension. It is digitally controlled, so at a touch of a button, or even programmed automatically, the ride height can be changed. If one had the regular air suspension, they would have to manually push a switch to change the ride height. If you have the digital controller, you can set pre programmed ride heights. You can even set it up that when you park, it drops like picture, then when you start your car, it rises to your preset ride height.

This is a car show picture. Nobody drive that way on the street.

Probably not, but I bet you could find a relationship between people that are rolling in the $ and ownership of luxury cars. Think about it.

Very true. Most in Hawai probably make below the national average. However, like you said, if you can afford to buy a luxury, or even en entry luxury car, that means you have a little bit more money than the average person.

Hey I bought my car the same day as you. Your gf traded in her VW golf right? I saw you guys taking pictures. Congrats and sweet car! BTW what did you do with the OEM lip? Are you looking to sell it?
