I agree. I think its a well executed vehicle, but not my style.
Maybe this is more your style?

Stretched tires? Of course its required. Loads of camber? Not so much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's nice, no doubt.

I'm more of a muscle car and 4x4 type...

I don't think that rear camber >>> Front camber looks good at all. But again thats just my opinion. I would do a bigger pull if you can and run around 4 degrees in the rear. Five bucks says you get pulled over often //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
This guy did:

Dang that thing looks sick. I've pretty much pulled and flared my fenders as much as I can. It's close to the point where if I do it anymore, it's going to mess with the portion on the door and that may prevent it from closing properly. I just need maybe 3mm so I think I'm gonna try to have it pulled some more and camber it half a degree more and that should clear it. Gotta take a closer look though.

I don't like the rear camber looking way more cambered than the front, I'm hoping to have about -5 to -6 degrees of camber in the front.

I actually haven't gotten pulled over and I've driven by several different city patrol cars, motorcycles, chp, etc. They even pass me and I just hope I don't get pulled over and they don't pull me over. Only time I ever did (twice) was when I wasn't as cambered and my tires stuck out a little (needed more of a pull). Didn't get cited for that though.

Here's how it was lookin when I got pulled over....don't mine the yellow line on the tire.

I was rubbing so much then. At one point I decided to see how much so I looked in my rear view mirror after tilting it and literally saw smoke come out from the tire.

Cool! Its a well executed car. That in my mind is what embodies vip. Luxury, performance, style. Flashy, yet subtle. The modifications make sense and adhere to a certain theme to the car.

Donpisto's car (no offense) is more vip influenced than anything else. In regard to the exterior. The interior is just badass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Doesn't matter, the Japanese (as crazy as some of their cars may be) have something that we lack: creativity. Anything to be unique. That example is probably the nicest U.S. example of an F50 Q45 I have ever seen...

We just have the art cars at Burning Man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I can dig it. I like ALL kinds of cars, including muscle and off road.

I am the more conservative type when it comes to that style of modding. One day I want to build a car nearly as nice as his.

I was rubbing so much then. At one point I decided to see how much so I looked in my rear view mirror after tilting it and literally saw smoke come out from the tire.

I can attest to that. The reason why I said my coils aren't stiff enough is because at one point I tried stuffing five people including me in my car (two big guys as well, mind you). Fender was resting on the tire since I have no camber curve in the rear (tire goes straight UP when I compress) and I smelled burning rubber two blocks later. Two of them got out and walked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
In that sense, I am a little more hardcore since I don't have the luxury of the wheels cambering in when I compress. The front still rubs like a mofo when I turn, but I haven't shaved off any tire yet because the fender just flexes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

No offense taken. I really like how that Lexus is sitting...super sick wheels too.

Talk about negative camber...(not his daily driver)

19 x 11.5 -51...freakin crazy offset.

Just to give an idea how deep that dish is...

Lol....I've had to tell my passengers to get out the car so I can make it into a driveway.

I hate that car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Front, perfect, rear, barf. Props for having the balls to do it, but there's a point in every car trend/fad/following or whatever you want to call it where it just goes TOO far.

I think everyone on this forum, would want one. Still apples to oranges.
