Although I am a supporter of the do what you want to your car ideal and can fully appreciate the work and passion that goes into them that video epitomizes my vision of many of the hellaflush for life crowd. It is pretentious, self congratulatory, holier than thou and just plain annoying. I can see I would be able to talk to that dude for about 20 seconds before just turning and walking away.
Oh shit, I just crossed over in to the hater camp from one 2 minute video!

Yeah, most guys in that crowd are really pretentious. I don't think Vic is, (the owner of that frs, if he still owns it?) However a lot of the Insta famous stance guys think they are the greatest and everyone wants to be them. They do it for the likes and fame, but at the end of the day the likes really don't matter. Do it to make yourself happy. I stated in a previous post that I deleted all of my photos of my car, I only built it for myself. I love it and thats all that matters. /end rant.

That's not stance. I think it's actually a very cleanly done car. This has the potential to be track worthy honestly. (I am anti-stance in every way.)

It would be good to know things before speaking about them. That's how misinformation starts and is spread.

I actually like yours and didn't even mind that one in the video (other than the stupid fucking tow strap dragging and the 20 foot tip). My personal issue is the whole "I know not everybody likes this so I am gonna shove it in their face and then be offended when they say something" attitude that is seen so often. There is a reason why so many Illest and Stance Nation stickers and plate frames say "haters gonna hate" or "only the best know why we do what we do".

There is absolutely nothing clean about RB. Any dufus can drill and screw in a few hundred sheet metal screws or whatever the hell they use.

Stretched tires are not track worthy.

And not everybody wants nor needs track worthy. Nothing at all wrong with going for looks over function. But... if going for looks at least fill the bloody holes and don't pretend that you are going for function.

Well that's because a fair share of the RB setups are done by shitty installers in "professional" garages on shoe string budgets. I personally hate RB, but you can't discredit something that was done right. If you can't respect what appears to be quality (but still kind of bad pictures) work, then why are you in any hobby? I also said it has the potential to be track worthy, not is. Not that you need a wide body to track or anything.
