Enter stance/hellaflush/fitment. Now there is a common goal to achieve. Somehow this was the new necessity in modding. JDM follows this same route as people try to achieve the same look. THIS spawns another creative outburst as people recognize that the new "goal" is creatively restrictive. Now there is effort to break the mold. It is a difficult process as it is not yet accepted. Extrapolate a bit further and you will start to see alot more freedom in tuner modding. You may not like this sort of thing like the camo hood or the crazy graphics... but be prepared to change your opinion or possibly be driven nuts by the next generation of modding. Who knows?
I think the right way to approach all of this is to take it in and appreciate it. If you wanna do what's RIGHT for the scene than build something top notch. EVERYONE can(should) appreciate a proper build. Something done right.
