Probably the "cleanest" look I've had... Didn't last long, I like 'em dirty

"Post if your has car has the clean, classy, sophisticated look. I.E subtle lip, wheels, suspension etc..

No slammed/dumped, ganster, agrressive, murdered out look. Not that anything wrong with those type's of looks or anything. I'm just looking for a simple yet effective style."

So yeah kind of subjective, but I think if your car is relatively stock but clean and classy and you wanna show off a certain aspect of it, go right ahead. I did. It doesn't say anywhere not to post cars that are stock. It does however say not to post cars that are slammed and people post those here.
Most enthusiast forums have threads like this, and they're generally characterized by subtle and conservative styling that could be mistaken for OEM by a non-enthusiast. dubsesd's car is a pretty good example of this (though pic #3 makes it look slammed with that rear wheel gap). When I had an M3, M3Forum.net's E36 section was all about this style. There it was function over form, with a focus on performance and at most, rare OEM parts that are hard to come by in the US (such as stamped lightweight wheels, alcantara steering wheels or seats, etc). I think the BMW M and Mercedes AMG divisions were responsible for that: a non-enthusiast would be hard pressed to name the visual differences between a non-M and M car without having them side-by-side.

Anyway, I think the title of the thread may be a bit misleading for what the OP intended in the description. I don't think anyone is disagreeing that these cars are clean and classy, but I think they're definitely too aggressive. That's not bad, but it's not subtle either.
