I have been trying to read through as many posts as possible to catch up on this xB learning curve. I have seen several comments about rare wheels and camber earning points at shows.

I get the rare wheels part, but why does camber earn points? Are folks doing this for on road performance (autoX) or just the look/style? I know there are probably some folks out there that will say both, but do you really autoX or hit the twisties in your box?

Thanks.

look/style will be at least 75% of your answers.

rear camber doesnt necesaarily earn points at shows its the overall fitment, offset, brand, and style of the wheel

if your doing mods to win shows your doing it for all the wrong reasons. do it cause it makes you happy and it reflects your personality, not a rulebook

That is one of the best statements I've seen posted on this site. It's all about what makes YOU happy, not what a judge will like or what everyone else says will look good. Nice going Quadoptix, I believe you have summed it all up right there! Thanks.

I have added it to my sig.

yep u got it, but to me, its the quality of work performed and the thought that goes into it..anyone can do a widebody w/ some iforged wheels and suede out a complete interior...thatsl ike 90% of cali's show scenes cars outside scion. its all boring and repetitive. on a national level garage life cars arent really show cars, but cars built w/ pure thought and individuality. they own the scene here in cali and they arent even trying lol emotion ownz all out in the east. but yeah do it cause it makes u happy and reflects you. look at my car? i dont expect people to like it, but i love it and thats all that really matters.

yea it was hot til it nearly destroyed one of my tires. now it's stock springs in the rear. but i have flares and a fab kit on the way so i should be able to drop it back down and look good again in a month or 2.
