How's this for fitment!

[ern-diz]

Also, I guess for me personally, I look at it as timeless, classic looks vs current fads/trends.

I think of this camber era we're in right now along the same lines as the '90 Nissan Sentra's with the wheels sticking out way past the fenders, or the custom choppers with the super fat wheel on the back. It might just be me, but I feel like these are trends that come and go while timeless looks tend to live on.

I guess all fads live on as niche segments, but almost anyone, no matter what their preferred car culture is, can appreciate a '68 Charger on some well fitted wheels and rubber. A '64 Chevy with candy paint. Lambo's and Ferrari's in their stock state. I might be completely off base, but I think the camber scene eventually goes the way of the fat rear wheel choppers.

Not trying to offend anyone, not saying one is better than another and not even saying I hate any of it, but for me it's worth appreciating as a moment in car culture time, and that's about it.

Shit, then again, what do I know.

But let us think about this. Is it truly a "fad"? Fads tend to only last a season...maybe a year? tire stretching has been around since at least 2004, first time I ever saw it was on a friends rhd conversion 240sx.

VIP was always known for the extreme camber look. I remember browsing Junction Produce's website back around the same time..I think.

anyway my argument is that it's not really a fad, it just isn't as underground as it was in the past.

btw thank you for not going full out "hellaflush fitment shit sucks" route. respect

No doubt, there's room for all of it and to each his own.

You also make some interesting points about the timeline of this look.

I just wonder if 30 yrs from now there'll be a kid with a poster of a '98 Lexus cambered out on his bedroom wall.

Quite possibly a better chance of that than a poster of my Yaris, though, eh!

hahah I was going to make a point that the majority of car people look at our little cars and say "why? why would you waste your money on a little car"

the kei scene gets grief just like the fitment scene.
