Default Godzilla Lip

I was surfing the net and was just amazed by the HUGE lips on this thing.
Car looks pretty good too.

That is allowed on a Lambo.

Hopefully, no Civic owner will try to pull that off with 6" spacers...

IMHO that is excessive and way over the top. It would've looked
better with half the amount of lip on the rear wheels.

+1. This looks over the top, maybe OK for a show car.
I feel the same with lip size as with rim size, it's not always the bigger the better.

Wow! Lots of lip action. It almost makes the rear wheel look like a different design than the front one!

Great pic Reggie... Looks like a 100 dollar bill or cell phone won't even fit that rear lip.. Why does everyone do that

Because they can?

I think homeless people could live in those rims!
