Default That Hella Flush look

What are your thoughts on the Hella Flush look? You know, a car slammed with crazy camber and offset so the tires almost touch the fenders:

Example 1


Example 2


I personally love it but can see some hating it.

I don't have the guts to do this to a car though. Or the money. the right balance of suspension, camber kit, and rims/tires can get pricey.

If you had the money. This would be a great show car.

As far as using as a daily driver.. I'd hate it. You will have to worry about speed bumps, pot holes, and scraping the under-body.

Overall, "I" don't think I would ever do this.

That's what bagging is for! You're car won't ride at that height only when you stop and deflate the bags.

ah yes, and the re-rolling of the fender after you hit the dip in the road... or scraping your underbody when you pull out.. having to go over speed bumps at an angle...
I love the lowered look, not so much the tires past the body.

Not a fan of the look (low profile tires, filled wheel well) personally, and it is horribly impractical for a daily driver. A low car looks good but my car, stock, is already so damn low that my front bumper is basically destroyed thanks to LA's "Hummer only" speed bumps, potholes and 45 degree inclines. I couldn't imagine dealing with anything lower.

Hell, buy a $200,000 Aston Martin from Galpin in the valley and the first thing you do driving it out is scrape at their exit. I like the Lambo's with the hydrolic lifts for when you come to a speed bump or steep incline.
