But this doesn't make it functional. I could cut a hole in my fender but that doesn't mean it will alleviate wheel well pressure. And I've heard stories of older cars like this with chopped springs and a passenger limit because an overload would cause rubbing. Just because it's more common now doesn't mean it didn't exist. Now I'm not saying your car looked bad or was distasteful, I'm just trying to draw a comparison to what people idolize and what people(not necessarily you humfrz) bitch about today.
