Some people see a car as just transportation....while others see an empty canvas that needs an artist's to make it beautiful. I have never drove a car that I didn't at least put custom wheels and/or tires on. I always try to make a deal with the dealer to buy my stock wheels back during my purchase negotiations. I think that some people, like my dad, want no mods on a new car so they can have the full stock experience. However,some of us see our cars as an extention of our personality and would only drive stock if we have a limited choice(rental or loaner).

For the owner of the above pictured car: Do you ever scrape that corner when you need to park the car on a 45 degree? Not only your car is lower, it also has that lower plastic trim at the front. My car is stock and if i am not careful it will scrape on curbs (at banks, restaurants for example).

It for sure looks good - but is it worth it to always having to be very careful with humps, bumps, curbs and pot holes? What happens when you put 3 more passengers in there with a full tank of gas and some luggage?....

Zero scraping here even with 5 passengers and luggage in the car. As Rominl stated as long as it is done right you will have no issues. In regards to my front spoiler yes I have to be careful not to pull in over the tire stopper.
Having always owned lowered cars this becomes 2nd nature anyway.

Thanks
