- If you take a second
and just go to like look through Instagram,
scroll through a few car pages,
today's style is of,
one could say very evident,
you'll see bolted on wide body's,
that is what it, you know,
that's a thing right now,
you know, you'll see the huge wings,
that's a thing right now,
and you'll see some of the wildest wrap jobs
you know what I'm saying,
people don't dab anymore I'm not doing it,
but I really wanted to for a quick second,
but there's one thing that seems
to be like all other builds have in common,
and that is stance,
and when I say stance I mean
like excessive double digit camber,
it seems to be happening way more often now
than ever before, which always begs the question
on like whether it's a fad, a trend,
or really if it's ever going to die,
now the camber serves
like a really very little functionality other
than helping like dudes run super wide wheels
and being able to sit fender to lift,
now don't get me wrong, you have to appreciate the time
and the custom parts needed
to achieve these insanely slanted boy clout points
as they would say, but will the trend actually die out,
that's a pretty good question,
by the way I'm Alex dot F I
and today we're gonna be talking
about just that on if stance cars are gonna die out,
or if these styles are going to be around for much longer,
don't forget to subscribe and if you're looking
for aftermarket wheels, tires, or suspension be sure
to check out Fitment Industries dot com, boom,
sales plug out of the way, bang, bang, bibbidi, bop,
with any trend in the world,
that's exactly, you know exactly just that,
it's a trend which means naturally things die out,
when new ideas come up
and everybody wants to be part
of the next big thing,
its a common, it's a commonality we would say,
and if you look back through US history,
specifically at car culture,
you'd be pretty insane to see how far we've come especially
in the space, you know, few decades,
the 60's and 70's was an insanely weird time,
because you had the muscle car haven
and then the 70's came,
and then the EPA ruined everything that was fun,
and then you had everything
that went into like wood station wagons,
and then going in to low riders, and things like that,
then you had the 80's and 90's come around
with the Japanese cars started to get imported
and you had the Honda's, the Datsun's, and the Nissan's,
and the things like that,
then you had Honda Civic's with insane body kits,
mini trucks with wild paint jobs,
pretty sure people were taking their new Scion FR-S's
and BRZ's and then pretty much the same thing,
there pretty much doing the same thing,
just the platform changed,
they put them on the ground
instead of lifting them up,
they put the 20 degree's of camber on it.
So the question is, is well could it be a trend?
Now here's the thing you have to take
in to consideration, the automotive scene is much more
than just than the United States
and if you look over across the way
in to Japan and things like that,
or even Europe, you'd see that the whole European
and Japanese stance scene has been a thing
for quite a while now,
so you can't just knock it off as a trend,
especially as it gets more common
in the good ole US of A,
the US of A is like mid west of USA alone,
like the USA is the last one
to get any of the cool stuff,
the mid west in the USA is always the last one
to get any of the cool stuff,
like Yeezy's are the thing right now,
but I'm pretty sure they we're the thing
like seven years ago in California,
I wouldn't even be shocked
if that was the case,
now before you type your comment,
I already know what you're going to say,
but Alex, most of the cars are so super popular now,
and the racing scene is huge with no stupid camber,
now listen I get it, that's true,
and you know it really is.
But have you seen the Mustang's and Camaro's
that have been rolling around
with the insane camber wide wheels?
If you jump out to our gallery,
you start to see people taking those muscle cars
and doing just that,
you see people taking all sorts of different vehicles
and making all crazy excessive styling,
now take it back to 2000's,
probably the most recent of a different sort
of generation change and a lot of it had
to do with flat profile wheels, the hood scoops,
the roof scoops, you had the lips,
you had the flat profile wheels,
you had the crazy vinyl on the side,
but at the time that was the cool thing,
one that's always remained the same though is the fact
that it's always been some sort
of excessive expression of nature,
now if you look at GT 86's, 350 Z's,
GTI's, Camaro's, Volvo's,
you could pretty much run slanty
(inaudible)
set ups on all of those
and people are rocking the hell out of them.
So will they really die out?
Some people say it should have never have started,
and other's are now hoping
that they will just please, you know,
please end, Oh my gosh, please end,
we've seen the comments,
we're there, we usually have to respond to them,
because we hardly eye everything,
or we just delete them,
because you guys some times are little bit mean.
Right?
But it's a trend, that started really,
I mean for a long time ago,
it's been a thing for quite a long time
and now that the people have gone kind
of to social's more and more often,
you're just now seeing a little bit more of it,
Now has it gotten a little bit more socially acceptable?
Yeah.
Do I think there ever going to die out?
That's a question that really kind of depends
on what people are replacing it with,
because really with car trends
they last about five to seven years,
give about one to two generations
of vehicles for people to roon the trend
and then people want to go do something different,
because not everybody is doing it,
you can actually see that start to happen
with the big wing thing that's happening,
now people are trying to go to the duck bill set up,
because they don't want to be like everybody else,
they want to do something
that's unique in their on way,
stance excessive camber
that whole thing was the unique thing
and it has been the unique thing for some time now,
that's pretty much it.
Do I think?
Or do we think that stance cars are gonna die out?
Maybe, probably,
because I don't think that it's a staple
of the scene just yet,
but if it continues to be as successful
and as prominent as it has been,
in the past three to five years,
it might just be the low riders of the 70's,
you have to remember that taking it back to the 70's
and 60's, and 50's and 80's, and 90's
there was always stuff that people were doing
that made cars inherently less functional,
but people still just had
that much more of a fun time with it,
any time you've probably done something unique,
you just have to look back about 30 years
and you'd probably find somebody
that's already did it,
accept in a more weirder way,
with more hair, you know like puffier hair,
probably some more hair spray,
some things like that
and you know it might be something
that's not for every body,
but it really kind of comes down to,
I don't know.
Does it matter?
Let us know what you guys think
in the comment section below, we'd love to hear it,
and of course don't forget to subscribe
if you're looking for wheels, tires, suspension,
or you want to see what people are running for their set up,
so that their on stance or not,
we have a huge aftermarket gallery,
with other 10 thousand vehicles over there,
that you can actually see what's super common,
now stance is obviously the loudest,
but you'd have to be pretty surprised
at how many people are actually going
for pretty standard look these days
and instead of going for the stancey thing,
they have a tendency to be going
towards the super meaty track set up, pretty interesting,
anyway I'm Alex, we will see you guys later, peace.
