I think personally since I've only been into building Hondas for 10+ years, the stance look is just fad. And it's not just honda-tech, it's the honda youth coming up, regardless of age or race, it's the simple fact that people that live the "stance life" are simply looking for the online fame. And it's not just Hondas, I use to roll with the supra crowd and they can be just as bad as the youth at heart honda guys. Honestly we should all just come together to respect those to how they build their own car, knock offs or real parts. Not everyone is blessed in life, not everyone can just save for months or years to buy real parts that can just be destroyed or stolen. I'm not ranting but just simply giving out my opinion. I'm not a hella flush guy. My daily is just low enough I can get around town without worrying about scrapping or just simply f***ing up my car. I think if honestly you can't help but but bash a person just because they don't track there car or because they hard park just don't acknowledge them. Track guys like myself will stick with those that track and leave the hard parkers alone. Remember you can't blame a forum because of the people who make it the way it is. It takes the community to make something great or destroy it. We're all family in this car thing, we've gotta remember that's what stands us out from those that clearly don't understand us.

Why not? Because it requires discipline and premeditated direction? God forbid anyone encourage doing something the right way and attempt to discourage cutting every corner possible to fit in with their social media heros...

Wow, could you be a little more open minded about other people's lives? Not everyone can just ever save up that kind of money damn

Why can't people save money for unnecessary mods to their car? Why would that be considered bad? Why do people have the mentality that if you can't pay for a part with change scrounged out of the couch cushions that it's too expensive?

If low offset/stance is your thing, fine. Just don't expect people to be impressed when you do it with the cheapest crappiest parts available. I really don't understand people's obsession with reducing the driveability of their car to stuff cheap ugly wheels into their quarter panels but whatever...

I'm really not trying to bash anyone even though it could have come across that way. I've seen low(ish) offset setups that I thought looked decent. They're not my personal style but to each their own. I just don't understand how anyone (let alone such a large amount of people) thinks that running super stretched tires and insane amounts of camber looks good or is worth the trade-off of lost performance and driveability. Factor that in with using parts with virtually no quality control and you have a recipe for failure.

The current trend reminds me very much of the days of body kits and huge wings. There were some cars with that styling I actually thought looked decent. They were however, NOT the ones rocking primered eBay body kits, APC wings, sitting on 18" wheels. The reason they looked terrible is because no particular direction was put into them, fit and finish of the parts used wasn't important and attention to detail was ignored. They simply tried to replace every part possible, as quickly as possible, with whatever the cheapest available piece was that remotely ressembled something they saw on the cars that were put together well. The end result of those cheaply "built" (I use the term loosely) cars was laughable and 99% of them hit the junkyard after being devalued so heavily by the owners "upgrades".

I see the same thing happening today. So many people try to find the cheapest garbage possible and aren't willing to be patient and save for something of quality that they end up creating a rolling pile of **** overnight instead of something they could take pride in in the long run. I'm not saying everyone has to buy the most expensive parts ever made, that would be unreasonable. I'm just saying instead of saying "not everyone can save" be realistic and say "everyone CAN save if they choose to, people just choose not to."

I guess I see it a little differently then you do. These trend followers are definitely ruining their own cars but I don't let them ruin hondas in general for me. I just shake my head and move on. If they really want to drive some trashy piece of **** so be it.
