So far off of the mark... it may be "classy" to some, but I believe everyone would agree that is the VIP look and not the clean and classy type

No slammed/dumped, ganster, agrressive, murdered out look. Not that anything wrong with those type's of looks or anything. I'm just looking for a simple yet effective style.
Again, for reference - this is an ideal "clean and classy" look. Subtle lip, average drop, clean wheels, tinted windows - car still looks very OEM, but slightly improved.

Clean and Classy doesnt have to be subtle mods keeping it close to oem. Clean and Classy is whatever you want it to be. Its an opinion of a person who has modded their car who feels it meets the standards in this thread. Who cares how low, how big, how modded a car may be if they feel its Clean/Classy then to them it is.

Agree with zmcgovern4 and bob4256.

Clean and classy is not a blanket description that can apply to whatever you want it to. You wouldn't do the same thing when describing syles like hellaflush, VIP, etc. IE you wouldn't call dubsesd's car hellaflush or VIP.

You CAN classify a stock car as clean and classy based on the condition of the car and in some cases, the brand. A perfect example is a bone-stock Jaguar XJ..



You can also compare the Bentley Continental to the Lamborghini Murcielago. Both clean, but the Continental is clearly classy, while the Murcielago is quite obviously a sports car.

Certain standards have been set out that define this style, just like any other style. Of course, your own opinion is yours to have, so if you think you car is clean and classy, post up. Just know that there will be people who will offer up their own opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.

I also agree with you but there isnt a set of rules to classify a car as clean or classy; it ends up being a matter of opinion.

Still though, this thread is starting to look like the pic of your car right now thread

So you're saying you don't like spinners?
