HellaFlush mazda3s?

Yeah, the hood thing was started for function. If it's done for no reason... fail.

Rubbing is illegal, and so is camber. Back in the Darknights days they used to tow a lot of people for excessive camber wear.

The cops that got stationed outside the exit from DK would fill up their quota for 6 months in one weekend. Imagine how bad it would be these days.... They'd probably get a years worth with some of the cars out there now. lol

I recently read that the flares for that car were found in a shop for a different car entirely (no one knew what) and are 1 of 1.

Even better.

plenty of things everyone does to their car is done "for no reason"... and its just a couple of shims on his hood hinges. if everything has to be for function only, do you carry that over into what you wear as clothing? no basketball shoes unless youre playing basketball or no skate shoes unless youre skateboarding?

also ridiculous camber is maybe a little unsafe, but if your tires have tread and your contact patch is still at least 6.5" (stock width), the danger of these setups is probably a little exaggerated. the owners of these cars dont drive them like race cars. i'd be much more afraid of an 18 wheeler's tires falling off or an absent-minded driver than i would be of someone who is obsessed with their car's appearance.

^good argument.

my addendum would be that the setups that some of us find ridiculous and unsafe and therefore not roadworthy are on the extreme end; akin to wearing timb's and baggy jeans to the gym to play ball (back in the day). wearing jordans to the mall is not a hazard, and neither are any of the resident setup hellaflush setup on this board (except gwn ).

as for the exaggeration, there maybe some truth to it, but unlike some of the more extreme setups (i.e, subie and miata), truckers and absent minded drivers are not wilfully altering suspension setups and such to make them less responsive and capable (like the afore mentioned subie and miata).

i dont really know but i believe it started as a thing in japan or even the honda scene when you needed to fit a bigger motor but didnt want to cut the hood... or something like that... im prob way off

so far off!

the car in the picture is a honda? lol although most people do it for looks not cooling..

in fact some argue that it makes cooling worse due to bad air flow

That Subaru with the flipped wheels was visually unappealing.

I hear with them normal it is quite appealing however.
