So you use your own car as an example? I see a clean stock looking IS. Classy should not be a word describing this thread. Simple and Clean I can agree with. None of these cars look like vip cars or the higher end luxury sedans of lexus. Its an IS... an entry level sports sedan from lexus. Nothing more... TO say a car looks "gangster" makes you look racist or ignorant to me. Im sorry but my cars do not look gangster and are not on 22's lifted up 2" over stock. Please make a better judgement call before you judge how people mod their cars.

It's exactly what is implied in the wording itself...
Subtle =/= 13" wide wheels with fender pull.
There's more in that car than you think as well, I know the owner and saw it build in stages.
Subtle [the car above]; F-sport squiggly grill insert, 2012 tails [car was an 09], BC coils, Magnaflow exhaust tips, Hyundai Genesis wheels with proper fitted OEM Lexus caps [he had three versions before he was satisfied]
You fell for it yourself. You had no idea whats on the car, where the few of us that appreciate this style most do know.

but as far as the 13" wide wheels and pulled fenders, i havent seen an IS with a 13" and not many cars at that. pulled fenders is to the degree of the owner. my fenders are pulled but im almost 100% positive you cant tell even in person. but basically by your logic just lowered with wheels(like i said earlier) is people call "classy" and stanced cars are "gangster"? i know most would still say my car is clean and still classy even aggressive and low because i kept taste in mind. but to bascially say thats not "clean or classy" is a matter of perspective and sounds ignorant

Are "Gangster" cars with 13" wide wheels and Pulled Fenders??? LOL no my friend, those are simple, clean, classy and well built cars. Done right with all legit parts, decent wheel fitment and still a functional height. Not to mention parts that aren't oem or like oem or from a different oem car brand. Its not much better than seeing 7 series bmw wheels on Lexus/Nissan etc...
Although I will agree the example is a nice, clean and simple car.

So not sure what the main focus here is or what the argument is either, whats the definition of clean and classy cause in my opinion if your car is tastefully modified whether is with aggressive wheels or conservative wheels if you pull it off nicely then Your car looks clean and classy. I personally love the way jdmsw20s IS turned out and if it was me on the road I'd be saying "damn that thing is clean" but a lot of the cars here are more simple looking But still nice but yes as some said they do aim more towards a OEM look

Yup - it is all subjective. Yup - many people consider those cars clean and classy. Yup - many people consider subtle mods to still be "stock". In the end, the op created this thread seeking example cars that fit a specific look... A lot of cars posted simply do not meet the style the op asked to see. There are other threads that already exist where these more heavily modded vehicles would be much appreciated.
