Calipers look nice.

But it looks like your tires don't fit your wheels, and cross drilled rotors are kinda a downgrade.

But as long as youre happy

It's performance art. The same psychology that draws wannabe punks to drop their pants to their thighs and walk around hobbled. The more people point and stare, the better they feel about it.

These divergent opinions between form and function will never be resolved in an auto enthusiast community. Other than forming little sub-groups of like-minded people, the real solution is to demonstrate tolerance, which is something I really suck at.

I try not to hate on anyone for wanting to customize a car the way they want it to be, but I can't help but laugh at some of the stuff I see on all these forums.

Not too bad on MyG37, but I've seen some horrible...horrible cars on my other forums

What do you mean "other" forums? Are you cheating on us with other car forums?

Performance art. I like it. About the most politically correct way to describe something.

I think we are growing too tolerant as a society. Remember being told 'there is no such thing as a stupid question'? That's was a lie.

Yeah, this just looks down right stupid. I can't figure out these weird mods or what the intentions are behind them. On the other hand I can always use a good laugh. So people, keep being "creative".

In general this is probably the most pc forum I have been on.. Most are like men's locker rooms. Gotta be tough and suck it up.. but if you are coming from a place of respect it is all good. Tough love kind of thing, however the internet doesn't translate all that well..

The sad thing is that this look wins awards at Car Show even if the guy next to me is rocking fake Volks or fake Work wheels. As long as he's "Stanced" that's all these morons are looking at... I personally think it's stupid having that much camber and running 25mm spacers to bring the wheels out that far

Ouch..

Does this forum have a rice thread? That would be a good central point of exploitation

been out of here for a while since last week, anyways on the side note

Does anybody know what size bolt should I use for the AK X CF Diffuser to hold it in place because I am finally about to install it tonight and I would like to know beforehand, also I'm going to get more 3M Double sided tape to make sure it all holds well in place !
