Its not much better on the mercedes forum and 5 times wores on the BMW and Infiniti forums, especially in the 3 and G sections.

So you're insulting VIP guys? And what do ricers have to do with being 1" off the ground? The VIP scene was around since before ricers, its the ricers that began running their cars low like the VIP's, but they dont know how to drive a lowered car. A true VIP'er knows how to drive a lowered car and keeps the car from shattering, not to mention, a true VIP'er will buy quality poly parts and not have to worry about shattered bumpers. BTW, a dropped car on wheels looks much better than a "mildly" dropped car on wheels, gotta at least close the gap.

At lease the sticker is using the correct "your."

That's all I got.

Can't say I agree. A lot of people got into these cars since the 2JZ was a big deal & Supra fandom is probably at it's highest point now days with Youtube & social media. The fact that they can be had for 3-5k in good running condition is also a plus. VIP/stance has nothing to do with it. Have you ever been on the 1IS subforum? I'm assuming not. It's the stigma that goes along with these cars and the fact that it can be purchased by anybody despite "classiness"
Also replacing a bumper isn't that big of a deal in comparison, they're fairly cheap.

Not insulting the vip guys, just my opinion. When you say a dropped car on wheels looks better then a mildy dropped car on wheels thats your opinion. I personally wouldnt ride that low, for obvious reasons. Thats why i think its "dumb" Reguardless of how you drive if you hit a pothole that you didnt see, im sure damage will occur. Changing your driving style for a "look" is like changing the way you walk so you can "sag" your pants. It really doesnt bother me cause im not the one paying for their repair on bent rims and damaged body parts\fenders. and i glide smoothly over speed bumps. maybe i missed it but i didnt see very many threads with pictures of their new poly parts, but more of their new coils. I really dont think anyone intentionally wants to be a ricer but where i was getting at is when kids see our cars slammed and all done up, they want it. But they are on moms budget and have little knowledge on whats going on. Ever wonder howmany kids bought ebay headlights thinking it was the same ones they saw on that vip gs300 on google. when they were indeed the retrofitted ones? Like i said i could be wrong but i think the vip guys played a part in the whole civic effect.

And this has nothing to do with the op,s sticker. I dont see anything wrong with it.

Be respectful to each other here despite his or her build type - VIP, Stance, Speed, maybe even sticker bombing (had to say it).

Cool sticker - once you can keep-up with a V8 or have some wins under your belt, if not, .
