MAYBE in some kind of crazy scheme to actually turn a profit on these things, Rays might have produced more than ONE set of Gramlights. Grow up.

Personally, I like what yer doing here.. I can't afford to have this setup since it's a DD and I live in VA (roads suck), but I love looking at these cars set up this way..

All these haters on here may complain, but they can't help but look.

I'm not so much for a Z with this setup, but the G's look killer.

Don't worry about what anyone says... If they are on your thread, that means they have to look... If that's the case, then they kinda like it...

Kinda like I hate old school lowrider pickups (like hardbody Nissans) but any time I'm at a car show, somehow I end up spending alot of time looking at them..

Keep doin' what yer doin'..... Sweet!!

^ +1. Some people don't get form over function. I DD my car (with plans to track it) and will probably never do these things to it personally... but they sure look good sittin' there.

yep, it does look cool, but i would never in a million years deteriorate the performance of SUCH a great car w that kind of set up tho.

Always to each his own of course.

But some thngs just dont register in my brain to make sense... and ruining your contact patch on a car that has terrible understeer and traction problems as is just boggles my mind. Id do it if i had several cars and wanted several toy cars.. but since this is all i got, its gotta be a monster as is.. 335s are in the work to replace my 305s.

anyhoo, go on with the skinnies.. Ive just leaned in life its always better to always roll a fat one.

Nothing says that a lot of these guys (including me) will DD their cars like this, but have another set of wheels for the track.... Take an hour to adjust the suspension to a track setup and put on the track wheels and I'm back to a car that handles great!

I do both... Form AND Function, it just depends on which shoes I'm wearing

Let's not start about deteriorating performance.... Unless you're making huge power and going in a straight line your 335s and 305s are adding significant weight and more than likely slowing you down..................

Young kids + coilovers + wanting to be diff = stupid negative camber, scraped car parts, $hitty handling and traction all for "looks"

That TSX is one of the gayest setups Ive ever seen.

imo..if its all for looks, i might have to say that usually a majority of people agree when they say the lower/stanced car looks better...then its all in good nature and functionality, the purpose is served.

its funny, cause you say its dumb and retarded all in the name of looks, but when someone else comments, i think that car looks better, you get mad cause you disagree when the whole point of that car was to look better.

your car is built to go fast for dumb reasons...yea, dumb reasons..
his car is built to go low and slow for "looks" reason, dont hate cause one person doesnt enjoy going 170 mph..

looks last longer than 170mph. sorry.
