That kind of reasoning fails. If someone looks stupid enough (like this silly hellafrush fad) without it serving a valid purpose then it can be made fun of. Also, just because you like it does not make it void from persecution. For instance, people used to think fanny packs looked good. Food for thought.

With that said, your wheels are kickass. Just throw on a proper tire and raise the stance a bit and you'll be golden.

I understand. I don't mean to sound like I'm judging someone. I'm not saying the car is fugly, I'm saying I think it's fugly. Just my opinion.

I don't understand this whole lowered, huge wheels, blacked out, debaged stuff. If it's what you guys like, go for it, though.

Woah now, nothing wrong with blacked out. Yes, maybe a bit played out, but still looks good in it's own right.

Black can look good. Blacked out tails and emblems and black wheels 0.5% tint, etc just looks like a drug dealer's car.

What do I know? I'm apparently 80.

Black looking good:



This is what I see when I look at most people's blacked out cars:

No, you're just boring . Different strokes for different folks I guess.

P.S. Both mustangs look pretty good.

Cool pics, but for the third (or is it 4th?) time now, I asked for a simple message written on a piece of paper to be included in the photos.

K thanks!

Damn Chris just get one of your cheerleader to use a magic marker and write the date and screen name into the gray primer just like you wrote hellaflush on the rear quarters. Use the same marker I don't care

I can't figure out why they want their car to look like the suspension is broken, how a wheel that sticks out from the wheel well could be considered flush, and finally tires than at a couple inches too narrow for a wheel. Kinda looks like they are to cheap to buy the proper sized tire. The whole fad is just HellaGay.

I agree with Post #164. Mustang looks good. The matted Black looks okay on certain cars of course and the rims and tires on that one dresses it up. Nobody boring, just opinions. As myself I'm not a fan of the black unless it shines like a jewel. That's just my opinion and my favorite color is black and all my cars have been black except a couple.

Stoptechs, motul, tein, SPL, whiteline, PS steering cooler, michelins, etc. I feel sorry for your car.

Oh and I laughed when you said you know more than he did about cars because you worked at O'Rielly's Auto Parts. Some people that work there are cool, but honestly you're the picture perfect definition of douchebag/poor taste.

Fair, but this individual is getting angry when people make fun of it. Who is he to tell other people what to criticize?

If he doesn't want to be laughed at, don't bring it to car shows/meets.

yes i am his cheerleader, how did you know? everytime he rolls into a show, i start chanting out his name out of boner excitement.

and i don't think the problem here is chris caring about people's opinions. the problem here is about the OP lying about chris and claiming things about him that aren't true. this is a public forum and fads/trends get bashed on, we get that. but don't forget, this started from the OPs claims about chris coming up to him and all that.

This is why the car scene fails, Open-minded people lack here. For example, the voltex 350z is my all time favorite z. Why would I hate on "functional" cars, you guys get your panties in a bunch when it comes to this subject. Also, why would I care what others think? I'm sorry my car isn't built to your expectations, and will never will be. Now the rest of your life will be horrible knowing a 350z was ruined.

I still think that there is a possibility that you are Chris under a different name. If you aren't then how did this go. YOu and Chris are having some nice pillow talk and Chris is like "there are a bunch of mean people on the evil site My350Z making fun of me and my car" You stand up and are Like "Don't worry muffin, I'm going to create an account, call myself booob and have all those heelaflush hating bishes running wit their jimmies between their legs"

That also appears to have a rear bumber, not scrapped on a pull.
