So is the parachute with holes, It's not absolutely non functional, I mean it will slow you down some vs no chute but you'll still fdrom the impact of hitting the ground.

While your car may still be somewhat functional (and I also like you don't just want to hardpark it lol) I still feel like doing this is detrimental (but not my car so really doesn't affect me much tbh). I can name several reasons that slammed/stanced/hellflush is non-functional but they've all been exhaustively listed many times and I'm pretty surre you are aware of them.

Also what functional car did you pull away from in canyons? a Yaris or a Aveo?

I don't understand why so many of you are bothering posting memes and stuff here.

I mean, it's not as if he's totally ignorant to the fact that he's damaged his cars utility as a functional vehicle. I mean, the title itself informs us of this and he keeps up the theme throughout his post.

He's already pointed it out; no need for ten posts reminding him of this.

Otherwise, your pictures are nice. Who gives a damn if you're on replica wheels. While I wouldn't want to go too heavy over stock, I personally get mad when I see someone with crazy lightweight wheels on a scraping car. There's no point if it's not performance oriented. At that point, it's just about showing off the money you spent.

Enjoy your ride.

one question; What are TRD fender bezels?

@MrFisty was about to say something about lightweight wheels but then noticed the performance oriented part and was like... oh... he's right :P

Don't get me wrong, it looks ok(never been a big fan of stance) and I am aware op knows his car is less functional because of it. That being said, this is a public opinion forum and my discussion was related to his car as I was sharing my opinion

I like the way it looks. Some guys track, some guys scrape. Do whatever you'd like. Did you need absolutely need the rear toe arms to correct the geometry at that camber level? I've read about some guys running -4 in the back on OEM arms

Ahhh gotcha, that's a pretty perfect analogy for it actually. And I saw that one coming LOL, just the usual stockish WRX/350Z/gen coupe/etc. But thats at my local canyon that I've been driving at least once a week for about 3 years now, so it's probably not a fair comparison. The only thing that really bugs me about this height is that the dif scrapes on all the center bumps there since they're unusually tall - most likely how I blew off the fucking drain plug :bonk: Going to take it up to GMR soon and see how it does...

Thank you for that, and agreed about the wheels - especially when people run $50 tires on their $3,000 wheels...

I don't know if I'm calling it the right name, but the little fins that I have in place of the stock chrome strip (or 86 piston logo on the frs) that are in front of the mirrors on the top rear-most part of the front fenders.

edit: here they are - http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221677687528
Think I got em for like $40 used, they're always on local FRS buy/sell facebook groups. The real TRD ones are like $200 something but come paint matched IIRC

But if you're shooting for -4 I think you should be fine on stock toe arms.

looked at it then saw this lol :http://www.ebay.com/gds/The-Essentia...9058397/g.html

@manualmotive Ah, that's a fender garnish, I believe!

I only asked because I thought there was some cool TRD part i didn't know about and I got pumped.
