I should have checked this thread after we spoke yesterday. It was wrong to post photos since it singled you out and added nothing to the topic. However I still feel the same way about pushing the "hellaflush" thing as far as you can. I suppose it's human nature to do so. See what the limits are.
On the other hand, you're going to get critisized for just about anything you do. I work in an industry where my work gets critisized all the time. Some people are extremely mean. It's part of life. Maybe I'm just too accustomed to it?

my cars (all of them) were critisized constantly by people who were not car enthusiast (and still are). whether it be family/friends/strangers...
who gives a shit.. dry it up crybaby
the only problem i have with opinions are when people catergorize ME as a person b/c of the way my car looks. i couldnt give a shit less if they like the car..

I don't know why I'm giving out advice on how to handle critisism. I thought that was something you learned when growing up.

Let me know when you're going. Ill take the ride up there as well. Maybe he can give me a hand with the rear mount. I had flashbacks to the first time I did it today and didnt want to go through that hell again.And Im glad you're going with the RDX injectors.

Agreed.
A little bit of poke/stretch is ok, imo. Even a bit of the VIP isn't too bad.
But the super-extreme camber is just dumb. Only thing worse is that fucking stupid rust look. If I wanted my car to look like it just came out of the junkyard, I'd buy my car there to begin with.
That & the poser-ass bike rack and silly stickers needs to go. I will never understand the fascination of people wanting to make their cars look like broken down beaters.

I have to lol at the people who get upset over negative comments. As if they've never had a bad thing to say about a movie or product. That film crew or engineer worked hard on that project too. Learn to deal with it like everyone else.
If I find some entertainment value in a hammered Civic that looks like it's squatting to take a shit, I'll post it the appropriate forum on the site I most frequently visit. The Off Topic section is the place for people to dump their garbage.
When I upload photos or post a comment, I know full well that not everyone is going to like it. I could get bashed for it. Big deal. I'll get over it. You need to learn to do the same or get off the internet. Maybe it's not the place for you.

This thread is great. I don't like more than 5 degrees of negative camber I think it looks silly, same with stretched tires. I realize some people want there cars to look good but show only cars really don't do anything for me.
I run -2.5 camber on my autocross car. Negative camber does have a functional purpose.

I'll say this:
I'm really careful with my wheels and tires. I can't remember the last time I scuffed them, or w/e. Then on Monday, I got too close to the curb. I heard the awful sound. I cringed, then went out to look at the carnage.
I scuffed the tire, not the wheel. A spray of shine, and all was normal. If I had done that with these other 'popular' fads, I would have ruined the wheel.

my version of a "popular" fad is not running into a fucking curb

actually, that's exactly what bashing is....giving an opinion
BTW, i'm not talking shit to you guys, i appreciate and like what you guys are doing. Hell I remember when people gave me shit for bronze rims 11 years ago. Never let it bother me, I don't mod my cars for others.

And if any of them try saying they have the negative camber for handling, the stretched tire completely negates that.

Yea, some negative camber has a functional purpose. But Im pretty sure most of these cars dont see the track, or even a spirited drive as theyre too busy dodging pot holes.

I know this is a new trend in some markets, but this one is just ridiculous.
