I don't care for it, but I do think it is cool that some people these days still care about modding cars. At least it is something interesting to look at in an ocean of Camrys, Accords, and minivans. Plus, I'm sure the mod market puts food on the table for quite a few people. That's always a plus.

Thats why i asked, if i dont understand something i dont just write it off i would rather ask questions, research and gather facts about it then formulate and opinion.
Multiple people have repeatedly told you it is a personal choice. It is an anesthetic mod; it does nothing for performance; it is purely eye-candy to some people. Stop beating a dead horse.

I was getting multiple opinions from numerous people you gotta relax man, do you own a stanced car is that why your taking this so personally? What mods do you have done to your car since you said you do your own thing I am curious to know, would you be willing to post a pic or two?

I owned 1 'stanced' car. You keep prodding at why these builds are low, wide, and have Japanese VIP inspired/style accessories. It's as if you're incapable of recognizing that there's an entire car modding subculture built upon this theme.

You literally asked the same question multiple time by rephrasing it each time after it has been answered, by different people at that.

And finally, no, I'm not going to share any pics of my build. I have a pearl white 2005 LS430 with a Wald Executive Lip Kit, on air suspension, and Leon Hardiritt Orden wheels. There's an abundance out there with those specs. It's been done by many over the years; there's nothing special about mine. I do it just because I like the way it looks.

It's just a style more or less. I like subtle setups like in post #2 above. The extreme camber and stuff is a bit much imo. And the alcohol bottles I thought that was only a display when hard parked doubt they drive around with that.

sigh with the alcohol long ago we drank on our break, and a bicyclist hits my car and breaks his hand? wth? I tell the guys get rid of the bottles fellas, toss them, cops are coming. Both of them go, "Why?" ah to be young again

That style is definitely not for me. Riding around in a Rolls Royce with trays and crystal, no thanks. So def would not want my LS430 to be like that...

Why get a tattoo or a different hair cut? Everyone has their tastes.

Ever see an LS or ANY lexus for that matter on massive wheels? I'm talking way over 22" OR seen a lexus with a weird body kit?
It is your car, you can do what you want with it Paint it pink? Put bright orange neons and remember the days of NFS UNDERGROUND? Lift it and go off road lol....

Be happy with your ride
