are we gertting "DE-SENSITIZED" ?

a year ago, a more common modification like this would usually get my blood flowin:

but today, after discovering VIPSTYLECARS.COM, it just doesn't cut it no more. It has to be more like these below to get my blood rushin. If it ain't slammed, dished out, cambered, then it just won't cut it.

it has to be BAM BAM BAM, and BAM! :)

anyone else find themselves like this ?

exactly...
it has become a habit for me to check wheel fitment on every modified car i see
and i constantly think about how to improve mine

I felt the same way about 3 months ago..............


but you see, we look at cars on the internet all the time.

and in my opinion. The fact is, if I were to stuble across that silver GS on the street, I would give it big props. cuz is just a sweet ride. :coolsmiley:

there's varying degrees of wheel fitment... and ultimately a lot of it boils down to personal interpretation; what is "flush and/or extreme" to one person might be a tad conservative to another. A lot of import folks are still "new" to the concept cuz many have been into hondas all these years, and are only slowly getting introduced to a world of wheels beyond the +42mm. In a lot of ways I credit the Scion xA/xBs and 240s with helping raise a bit of awareness in the concept of running wheels that are a little more than what the manufacturers recommend

at the other end of the spectrum is the VW/Euro (by euro I mean german - not cars but cars in germany) where its still hated outside of the small circle to stretch, poke.

oh baby, that means ure not there yet man~ :)

I think we all see alot of pictures online that get us used to certain looks and styles. So we are easy to overlook a car or not think twice about it. Just like if you had a bunch of pics of girls you'd right away click on the hottest ones you saw. That being said, I still think we you see alot of those pretty cool cars online in person you would have a better feeling about them. 

I know for sure that this site has ground "fitment fitment fitment stance stance stance" into my brain!

Back on topic..I think its in the human nature to never be satisfied..The thing is you are getting a rush..so anytime
you feal that sensation dopameans are released in your body,,its the same as drugs and alchohal..if abused you constantly
need more of the substance to get you back to your happy place, but just like drugs you are only chasing your rush...
I feel you bro,,but you have to get take back your control.. :2funny:

werd.. 

this world will definately desensitize people to so much more than than just cars.. >:(

like zion_97 said "take back your control" :angel:

in regards to vipstyle'n a car.. i personally think that people are just getting a better eye for that signature tight fitment found on a lot of vipstyled VIPCARs ( specially the ones in japan).. it takes a while for some people to catch that accurate fine detail that makes a difference. 

like an artist who gets better with practice.. lines get better, details get more vivd, etc... cuz, value wise, i'm guessing that the GS is probably the most expensive out of the bunch..

anyways.. don't get consumed.. ;) 

 

I dont think its de-sensitized, just Enlightened. ;)

^Agreed also i dont think its a sense of desensitizing here im def inspired therefore now have a different mindset on almost everything

 that has to do with customization and i will not limit to that to cars alot of stuff household things yard work also.

 I think it made me mature alot of ways im more into classy things and focus on stance and fitment also good to have,

 its def a good thing i have joined this because if not i probably would have been liking wack spocom kits and loud exhausts haha....
