These are just my views.
    Yeah thats your opinion and thats fine. But most of these cars aren't track cars so that doesn't really play a role in the styling. I'm not big on cut fenders either, I've always had awesome results with eastwood rollers. FWIW, I auto-xed my car at current ride height with no rubbing.. With a some angle correction in the front I think my car is going to be a decent auto-x car.

    Yeah, well a lot of the cars in this thread do look pretty hot, I just don't like RWD offsets on FWD cars that have to stretch tires JUST to combat the lip that wasn't designed for their car in the first place. It is true that most cars don't see track time but I am just a speed junkie, and when I see these cars 2 voices in me head talk. One says, that looks good, from an art viewpoint, hte other goes "OMG if I took that into so and so neighborhood I don't know how I would get over those first 3 speed bumps, and how much do those tires cost?" etc.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
