you'll probably be glad my original wheels didn't work out:



to everyone else they're just some old school wheels. but the guys from texas know what's up. commonly found in knock-off form on 9/10 hood rides. i was gonna try to make it work though with some authentic brabus with sick fitment and stance.

just for the record, i'm a vip fanatic but don't really consider my builds "vip". i just kinda do my own thing.

Dude, we get that you don't like lowered cars.

But his ride has a long way to go before it's "slammed," which in your case, slammed = ugly. And I highly doubt slamming it is his intention.

I understand the concept of "to each his own," and realize that (constructive) feedback from others helps members make decisions, feel good about their work, etc.

But so far the only posts I've seen you make all say essentially the same thing: "looks good, don't lower it."

It's fine to offer your opinions on others' rides, but when it's the same comment over and over, it tends to lose value.

Just my $0.02

IMO if you are going to say the same thing every time, why not just put it in your signature so we all "get" what you are saying?

BTW, Lexus lowers their car. Go look at an air-ride equipped LS400 for example, you will likely see a button that lets the owner do just that. A lower car gets through the air better, and has better handling. Too much? Most of the guys you see that are "slammed" are actually on air, and that is their parked position, not driving position. There are of course those that ride, park, and pretty much do everything else in their car as low as possible. Not my thing either since it impedes drivability, but its always the owner's call.

i dont have a prejudice about it whatsoever his car looks lowered more than mine and its looking nice anymore its gonna look worse rather than better. i dont mean to say it a lot but i feel like SOME certain pepole r trying to bully me outta not saying it even if i want too ,so that kinda makes me wanna say it even more

Thanks to contributors who have posted pictures in this thread!

To the commenters, let's please keep the discussion to the cars and pictures, and not to posters.

Please consider the feelings of the photo posters/owners before you make negative comments. If you wish to provide some constructive criticism, you can do so, but again I ask all to please do so tactfully. And it's not necessary to keep repeating the same critiques over and over.

Thanks all for your cooperation.
