Exactly. Some people take it personal. But theres a difference between criticism and educating. If we just accepted everyone's opinion then the wrong message will be sent out and everyone would get wrong idea of what real vip is.

I mean just this morning I get on my FB feed this....

Just a quick question for you hardcore VIP guys. I've heard most VIP cars over seas are Static and not on Air. Is this true?

This is true. MOST vip cars in japan are static.. not all but I would probably guess at least 75-80%. People in US just love it more because it has more "wow factor". Also our roads here are not anywhere near as smooth as they are in Japan.

Here's some member's stateside doing it RIGHT

People just keep pushing and pushing the limits around here. By the time they are done pulling the fender its paper thin. Simply looking at it will dent it. Most of the fenders of stanced cars are jacked no doubt about it. They might look ok in pictures but in person its really bad. All I usually do is shake my head and say "poor car." The phrase "make the car fit the wheel" has ruined way too many cars this generation. Rebuilding or designing fenders with proper body work is one thing. Stretching and rolling the metal with a fender roller, phone book or baseball bat is something else.
