What inspired young people of the early 2000's and late 90's to make their cars look like this?

would I drive it? no
Is a stock civic infinitely better? yes

but that doesn't mean it can't be appreciated itself as a piece of history

Did someone say earlier rice?

Are those wheels as wide as they're supposed to for those tires or are the tires actually meant for wider wheels?

The sidewalls of the tires look quite bulgy hence I'm asking.

You think very simply.

>Sleepy eyes
>Annoying bodykit
Yeah, not a good example

>this blatant nipple showcasing

sigh, those were simpler times.

>The sidewalls of the tires look quite bulgy
They don't, you just have a distorted image of tire widths thanks to the stance crowd stretching everything to shit.

>it was strictly an American/European thing to do.

This is wrong though.. in fact I think Japan may have been a big influence.

>They don't

Of course this was standard years ago and faggots overstretch now but you can't tell me they're not bulgy and are actually straight down. I mean it's even apparent by just looking at how the light shines on them.

thicc sidewalls are sexy. I like stretching tires too, but thicc sidewalls just says the car is meant to be driven

>annoying bodykit
>Not knowing what a 180sx Type X is.

I really have nothing to say to you.

nah America and Europe's take on Japan's style was misinterpreted and out of that came disgusting looking cars. It still happens today.

Not all Japanese cars were non riced street racers you know?

A car with the same engine as the type R, just with an annoying set of wheels and annoying bodykit. All "wide and low" bodykits (only exception being bosozoku) are annoying.

type x is the most over rated kit ever.

I only like the tail lights.

That's how a tire should fit a wheel.
That is absolute perfection for fitment.
Seriously look at any stock tire size on any stock wheel from before 2000.

>Not all Japanese cars were non riced street racers you know?

Yeah obviously, but that whole ugly ass bodykit on civics took off in America for some odd reason. In japan thats not even big. The civic over there is pretty much revered.
>A car with the same engine as the type R
yeah you are either shitposting or just stupid. carry on my wayward son.

180sx type x kit came stock from the factory

>In japan thats not even big.

It was big the world over including Japan.

and looked shit.

and people like you can have shit opinions so Im cool with that.

It's only popular because it's a rare factory part.

Also how can you say the Japanese didn't do the rice thing when veilside.. one of the most famous rice body kit manufacturers was a japanese company designing kits from jdm cars in japan...

its also popular because it looks damn good to most people with taste. It makes the 180sx slightly more aggressive looking in a good way.

pic related. a stock 240sx up top and the same 240sx with a type x kit and Te37s on the bottom.

Looks 100x better.

Would look better with te37s and no type x kit.

Another Japanese designed bodykit.

Japan is also responsible for the feels wide body ek kit.. like off lj garcia's car.

its because you have shit taste. Im sorry you were born that way.

Japan did this.

Someone doesnt know their hotrod and west coast 1960s car culture history

...

Well tell me what you "know"?

is that a picture for ants?

and while that doesn't look bad, it doesn't look better than a 180sx type x

I've read that article already.

poverty ass picture lmao

Well that's your opinion.

read it again.

checked

thx for posting fullsize
For some reason the stock body looks better now than it did 5-10yrs ago to me. It has aged well, never would have gone stock over type x but it really does look good now that I think about it.

>this
I put >dat bulge on my car and I love seeing stancefags have aneurysms or tell me my tires are under inflated, always gives me a nice heartwarming kek

>it was strictly an American/European thing to do.

did you forget about Veilside?

cuuute :3

>i drive a 1st gen CRX myself

>Escort Cosworth spoiler
>E46 M3-like fake side vents
>fake aero side skirts
>Altezza lights
dont remind me

This kind of cars will never cease to make me cringe

i think it was in response to rally and race cars of the time.

It was new and crazy. Basically trying to be as different as possible. Like white girls who fuck niggers. Still rather have those cars than stance.

>i think
Don't ....... because you are wrong.

you are very wrong. What makes you think teenagers in California were paying attention to Rally or Race cars at all.

t. cuck

well unless you have a better idea, you can fuck off.

yikes what the attitude

t. a person literally too stupid to understand no one was advocating fucking disgusting ungobongos.

Maybe I'm just picky, but none of those really catch my eye. I'm really loathe to pick up some rice junky kids project and 11g for a "special edition" repainted 26yo car is fucked. I might have to look even further but w/e. I still have to fix up my Prelude.

>tfw friend has a pristine CRX shell thats been in his garage for years waiting on a turbo B18 swap that also sits in his garage

hes never gonna finish it :(

News flash.
If you want one you might have to buy a shit one and restore it.
Or be patient. On the west coast you can pick up a junky Si for sub 1k

Yes, I try to

That's one damn good lookin ride

Lsd

Why?

Before 2000 most cars didn't have low profile tyres... it was a rare thing.

>stancefag
>accusing anyone of having shit taste
your faggotry is rice on steroids, fuck off

bruh if you think that is stanced or riced you literally are delusional.

pic related on the other hand is very much stanced. please kill yourself btw.

thats not stanced. you can tell because the car is still intact.

it is stanced you retards, what you were referring to is slammed

.
>he thinks this looks good
what the fuck

Where do you live and what car do you drive. I need to figure out what kind of person you are if you think thats riced. lol

>he thinks it doesnt look good

what the fuck

you have shit taste
i live in pennsylvania and drive a 1971 ford torino

>its another idiots think stance=hellaflush thread

>i live in pennsylvania and drive a 1971 ford torino

Now everything makes sense.

He means Pen and a Ford Falcon.

RCR gtfo

Half of the late 90s-early 00s aesthetic was that everything needed to be extremely gaudy and flashy. Everything else that wasn't was around in the 70s and started getting remodeled or torn down in the late 00s. Just look at how book covers, business logos, and product designs of the time for example.

Gay autism and social media

Ah, a true Patrician such as myself.

fast and the furious

Examples?

Autistic people are the ones that jate things they can't rationally understand in an overly passionate way...

Thats very nice, too bad its lhd though

Please treat your CRX with respect. It's beautiful just the way it is.

>see some guy eating a dog shit off the ground then wrapping his shit covered hand around his dick and jerking off in the middle of a park
>wtf
>FUCK OFF HATER LMOOAA AUTISM OVER HERE DOESNT GET IT IM JUST PASSIONATE GET OVER IT VRO

>US plate
>Si

Wait a second, didn't you guys get cucked out of the top crx trims?

They got the Si but it was still shit

i still have a soft spot for 2000s style rice

Oh, my bad, was mistaking it for the SiR/i-VT. Still, I'd think if one country would get the B16 engined CRX's, it would be the US. I wonder if it's somehow related to the hood bump on the 16 valve engines ruled unsafe or something.

We got the Si with the D16A6.no glasstop no power steering but those are for wueers. What we really needed was that B16A goodness but that car (which is mine) is a B16A swap sourced from an ITR.

That hood bump is the 88 D16ZC VTEC motor that came prior to the neat SiR. The B16A CRX has a hood that is raised in the middle instead of lowered with the bump.

You learn something new everyday.
