actually it is bagged, and is drivable at that height, I rub when I turn the front wheels and I surely wouldn't recommend it and I'd destroy my car (cosmetically more than anything) leaving it at that height, but I can drive the car if necessary.
Slammed is slammed in my book, some people use bags, some use coilovers, some just hack springs, they all produce the same result, it's convenient to have adjustability at my fingertips so bags were my choice.

Tucked wheels can look good and as with anything it just depends how the individual pulls it off.

But really, its because I'm shaving them altogether when the new bumper is finally fitted and painted. The corners are in the way if you try to fit fatty tires on a low offset/wide wheel. New wheels will be some Volks...

yup, I've seen the white one before, those wheels ruin it, I can just picture if they would have gone with something a little more high end that matches the white better and that car would look awesome. (in my opinion anyway, the wheels don't flow at all and are a distraction instead of an enhancement).

I like the flush stuff too of course, but me personally, I've always liked stuff super slammed and tuckin', kind of like the old BTCC cars I used to watch race before Speed channel whored out to Nascar



I like this car, I think whoever owns this found a nice balance.

The only vehicles that look good bagged with that camber much are old hotrods and small sized trucks.

Sports cars bagged with camber offsets like that =

Sport cars are made for performance, doing bagging or camber like that is degrading the performance and making it absolute horrible to look at. Someone bought the wrong car there for the wrong reasons.
