Sorry. :thumbsdown:"/
I see where you guys are coming from. I guess its just a different modding style/preference. Some may be into it, and some may not.

Maybe at least side skirts would help?

I think it may be more than just the stance of the car. Here's a link Photoshoot that got a lot of praise, and it had the slammed look.

Maybe it's the color, wheel choice or the lack of a body kit that's throwing some of you?

Personally I like it, maybe a bit too low for me. But hey it's not my car. Interested to see what body kit you go with.

Good luck.

Yes! I saw that link before. I love that photo shoot! The car looks awesome. I think it is the body kit or at least the side skirts would give it some subtle lines and definition of length at the bottom. The skirts' reflection will make a reflection that will seem to connect the wheels together.

Yup. I myself am not too into blue cars either. And yes, I think it is begging for a kit, and yes it needs a better photographer. LoL.

And Fetish, I said this before, but your car is freakin sick.
