In defense of person above, your car suspension is not even changed and you are on stocks. Thus the "stance" you refer to is not the stance term used generally by everyone else. You can simply google "stance car term" I am not gonna say anything about your car or whether your car looks better with that lip on or without. Everyone has their opinions. I will say some wise words from a guy I met in the hood, "There is only one way to customize a car, your way." True words of wisdom

i applaud for efforts, but that looks pretty bad. sorry bud, just giving you my honest opinion.

if your looking to lower your car then you can buy my BC coils with 14/12kg spring combo...or buy my bc coils with UAS air setup and accuair management/ E-level. pm me if you want more details.

Yeah, I think it will definitely look better when it's lowered. I've been searching for quite a while now on lowering the car.

Haha everyone is butt hurt because I used the word stance ;D
Even though my car is not lowered an inch! Haha!

That doesn't necessarily mean what you guys think it does. The dictionary definition for this word would be the way sone thing looks and appeals to you.

Btw, you didn't have to pitch your product in like this. You could've done a better job. Keep it to your self.

Will it make it look much different you think? giving it that subtle lowered look on the front?
Or is it not gonna make a big difference because of how small it looks.

If not, you guys have any suggestions for front lips? Not expensive ones please.

Thanks.
My thoughts ...
No, it will not change the look of the car at all because it's much too small
No, your car will not look lowered at all because it is not lowered

You must like it and that's all that matters, right ?

No offense but I think you are sort of heading in the wrong direction.

Plasti dip car, plasti dip wheels, taped on rubber lip, carbon fibre inserts...... in the end you could of put all this money towards a very nice set of 3 piece wheels, or a body kit, or something meaningful.

Dude very uncool of you, that was un-called for.
It's not your business to tell which direction I go. It's not your business to judge where I spent my money.

If this was a post saying hey ***** WHERE DO YOU THINK I SHOULD SPEND MY MONEY?
HEY ***** WHAT DO YOU LIKE ME TO DO TO MY CAR?

Then please enrich us with your opinions.


Debate here was about the look of the lip. You don't like it say so. Don't go on ranting about what I do to my car. It is none of your business. period.

Guys keep this thread polite and mature even if you don't like the op's style. I'd you can't do that, I suggest you do not post at all.

The OP wanted opinions and feedback and he got them.

"I prefer class, and elegance, subtle and less dramatic looks."
These mods are far from subtle. I'm not sure that a car covered in wrap, plastic and spraycan would be considered elegant or classy either.

Again, that is none of your business. I can write whatever I want, I have the freedom to do whatever I like.

But the problem is I haven't asked your opinion on my mod style. That's the problem. I didn't ask "what do you guys think of my style?, what do you guys think of me?, am I a good modder?
How about you give me your opinion on my weight or fat percentage while we're at it? You think I should wear t shirts? Please give me your opinion, I'm dying for it here Mr. Dolce and Gabanna. Or Jeremy clarkson sir.

You said what you thought about the lip, just shut your mouth after that. If you want to go around judging people you will get your *** kicked, where ever you are.

I always believed in not arguing over the Internet and across monitors. I will not go any further. Administration, do whatever you see appropriate, I have no problem with closing the thread, so these type of people don't embarrass us in front of the world.

If this goes on I will have to use words in sentences that will not make you feel comfortable. God has helped me e to keep the previous paragraph clean.

Sorry to hurt your feelings please don't get mad. You're a good modder. Such good style. I pray that god will allow you to continue to be civil. I am lucky to not have gotten my * * * kicked so far. Thank you for the safety reminder. My mouth is forever shut.

P.s. My name is Chris not Jeremy Dolce Clarkston.

Not a fan of black wheels but ....
Looks like you did a pretty nice job of it.

I really like your blacked out grill. I don't like chrome grill either - but am too lazy to change mine.
If I did I would be the Briarwood pearl to match my paint.
I would also get rid of the chrome window trim, I think its ugly - but again I am too lazy to bother.
I also would get rid of some of the chrome in the headlights but again I am too lazy to bother.

Don't let haters get to you ..... just have fun and keep this thread open !.
