Bagged

[coconutboy84]

If you put a pic on a forum. You’re gonna get people who like it and those who don’t. It’s an Internet forum, not sure if you expected everyone to just love it but that’s not usually how it goes. So...sorry?

This is one of those "car culture" things that makes me feel old, because I simply don't understand it at all.
Definitely a "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" type thing.

I wonder how old you might be, but this
1954 Traction Avant 15H already had rear suspension using LHS (Liquide Hydraulique Synthétique) hydraulic fluid (Wikipedia).

Imagine now in the 60's having those 1955 Citroën DS parked in the street
with the body lowered than normal... but not shocking (shock... ing) any one.

I like the pics in @SignatureWheel s post in this thread.

I think some dislike it maybe because Tesla strives to be mentioned in the same class as MB, BMW, Audi... with regards to public perception. The bagged looks definitively relegates this vehicle to another category altogether. I have never seen any of those other marques bagged, though I'm sure one exists, Lol.

People bag BMWs for sure (the one of those marquee's I am most familiar with).

Lot of people negative post and confusion is they don't realize that parked aired-out/slammed look is just for parking not driving.

…or they aren't a fan of the look no matter what the context is. I also think that having stretched tires looks ridiculous, or intentionally rusting out the hood, or all sorts of other silly stuff.

That Citroen is amazing. Pure classic

Look is one thing I agree that some aren't a fan of, but most people I see wonder how they can ride the car at this height. I have seen it with people asking about aired out car at my gym parking lot.

You think I care about “a better reception from everyone”. Lol

I do what I want. If you like it cool.

If you don’t cool.

This is the right stance to have on this (no pun intended, using "stance" there, lol) Its kinda what I said in up thread. There are a few in this thread that like it, a few that dont, and some that are like "not for me, but good on you for doing something different".

As long as the OP is happy with it, thats really all that matters, so the OPs stance here is good.

Most people have little more knowledge on any given subject than is required to eat, drink, and maybe spread their genes a bit.

Now let's see what one would look like chopped and on bags.....

I don't know if it's only me but when I noticed this title, I was thinking that this tread will be about the Badger, Nikola electric pickup truck.

If you like it , then love it and enjoy the ride! In San Diego the weather should not be an issue. Here in Maine that configuration wouldn't work. It's still a Tesla and that's enough for me.

Nicely done on your Tesla. Came from lowering spring and end up with air suspension. Not only you get the fictionality on the roads with adjustable car height at any time but also able to slam the car on the ground for aesthetic. Look forward to see more of your build!

thank you bro! Yeah I had lowering springs in my old G35 and was scraping all over the place. Adjusting the height on uneven roads is so clutch.

I think this bagged M3 is missing something...

 

[Gerardjake]

the excessive modding all started with the original Fast and the Furious movie.

It was a scene in Japan way before that movie.

 

[Gerardjake]

Well done, OP. The bagged look is certainly not my style, but I like seeing some variety in a sea of cookie-cutter Model 3’s!!
Despite many of the light mods I’ve made (and continue to make) to mine, it still pretty much looks like all the other 3’s on the road.... and that’s OK to with me.
Please post some pics after you get your new wheels! I’m one who would like to see it!

haha yeah it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I order my wheels from Japan in May. Hopefully get them in the next few weeks

 

[Gerardjake]

The whips above are sick.... ... Bag away........Screw these hater's. But hey... if you ain't wrapping your vehicle or painting a steering wheel it's not going to get any love around here. These are electric vehicle owners and not car builders.....

Nicely put! Hahaha

 

[Gerardjake]

What everyone don't understand is picture of aired-out look, it is just for photos or car events. You cannot drive the car that way as the suspension is completely out of air for looks. With air suspension there is a ride height which could be anywhere from .1inch drop to 2inch drop. If you look at signature wheel post of same car which seems to be the ride height about 1.5inch drop.

Lot of people negative post and confusion is they don't realize that parked aired-out/slammed look is just for parking not driving.

haha yeah! Everyone claims they know what air suspension is but don’t.

You didn't overnight your parts from Japan? Toretto's not gonna approve.
