The "frog look" (the term it was called when I hang out up in the Bay Area as a kid) has been here since the 80's and it's more common now that rebarrelling is available, a machine to roll the fenders evenly, more available offsets etc.

To me, I like all cars when they are done right; ol skool imports, 90's imports, ol skool classic Chevy's especially a '66 Nova! Not all of the hellaflush run cut springs and most of them run coilovers and air ride suspension.

Pretty much the same for me. I've never done it and probably won't ever slam any car of mine because it's not my thing when it comes to application. I do like seeing it from time to time though. But "done right" is subjective to individual tastes of course.

For example: the Looking AE86 you posted is a track drifted car (check the video and see he still has room for suspension travel), so I'm not bothered by the fitment or stance. In fact, most of those old school rides look fine to me. But I think that purple Odyssey looks like absolute crap. And while the camber isn't terrible, the WRX gets no love since I don't like the idea of slamming AWD cars.

Again, it comes down to individual taste.
