Which has more likelihood of causing an accident? Extra lights and badges or tires that don't fit the rims rolling on the inner sidewall?

Bros... stance gets da hoes!

Of course I'm kidding and since I like cool cars, I think this whole stance thing is stupid. Here is my friends Accord, he drove down the Mexico to get the rims.. (not really).. and traded his old rims for a turbo kit that will probably blow his car up..

Honestly some cars can make it work some cars cant. My brother has a 05 RSX type S that he has quite a bit of money into and he is "stanced". I love how his car looks but he is currently hitting the problems of tire wear and everything. Also this is his DD and first car. He has form and function coilovers in the back and teins in the front. Mugen lip kit with A spec spoiler and CCW LM20's.

I'm an advocate of people being able to do what they want with their own property.

I'm also an advocate of people being able to call stupid - stupid.

The NHTA dictates tons of performance and handling standards, but seem totally blind to this type of mod making these cars nearly un-road worthy. However, most national safety agencies over-react to complaints and might believe they should dictate standards as in Europe..."no modifications to manufacturer's suspensions allowed"! So, be careful what you wish for. Most of these ricer cars can't go fast enough to be dangerous and certainly not modded like these.

This was brought up the other day in another thread. I still stand by my answer.

It's the automotive equivalent to 'pants-on-the-ground'.

Their motto is "form over function". That should tell you something about their attitude.
