Nope, you're not alone. I think it looks silly... just as silly as it looked 30 years ago when we thought it was cool to raise the back ends of our cars on air-shocks. It's a fad, and a damn expensive one at that. And there's a certain challenge you have to respect when low-riders struggle to get the car as close to the pavement as possible, while still driving it. Granted, it's entirely self-inflicted, but a challenge none-the-less.
Meh, let it be. More people here like it than otherwise.
For threads like this, compliment the things you like, and comment on the things you don't without being too harsh, hoping the OP takes things as constructive criticism, or can brush it off.

The car is beautiful. I also love the gold calipers.
But I feel ya rochester... the drop ruins it for me. When you lower a car on coils for better handling I get it. When you drop it that far and impact functionality... I don't understand it.
But it's his car. As long as he's happy - rock on wit'cho bad sef'.

3. Rides amazing, people are surprised when they go for a ride in my car and they find out I'm on air suspension. I love it, rides better than my OEM suspension and I have full adjustability of dampining of the shocks and ride height from the push of a button or turn of a ****.
4. This car is originally a non-sport model so I ordered the factory g37s akebono bbk and custom painted them to replicate the GTR Brembos do to the fact I had GTR OEM wheels on here at the time of modification. Brakes ran me $1,400 including calipers and hardware, rotors, pads, and paint/materials.

Just want to thank everyone that said nice things and appreciates all the time and hard work I've put into this build, soon I will put everything back to stock as this car is a lease and start over on the new Q50s! Stay tuned. I will get on hear as much as possible to answer any further questions. Thanks again.

Great job, top to bottom, front to back. Look forward to your Q build (and your G part-out thread), should be epic!
...because there's no reason to be mad. There were no personal attacks, and more compliments than otherwise.
Wow. Logic be damned, that's a pretty impressive hobby effort. Hat's off to you, OP.

Lol thanks for taking it easy on me guys, everyone always gives me a hard time when I say it's a lease but I always try to explain that I did most of the labor myself and with the help of good friends. Hopefully parts are interchangeable with the Q50, that would save me lots of time and money!
