this dubber style crap is what bothers ME the most.

there are a ton of clean vw's out there that DONT do this.

its a handful and nothing more. go to vw vortex....more painted hoods than not.



and the fit will never be a vw, no matter what kind of crazy ass camber you run, if you are rocking euro wheels etc...

and the crazy offset vw community is a small part of a larger community that again, does NOT do this crap.


end rant.

Oi vey

I really hope this trend doesnt catch on here.
No offense, but Im not a fan either, or maybe i just need some time to get used to it, but its quite a shock the first time you see it.

I hate it on vdubs and I especially hate it on Honda's.








but if it makes you happy, then I guess that's all that matters. I was just really hoping that the Fit community would be immune to this sort of idiocy. :facepalm:
