Function Fitment

April 16, 2014 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

Lately in automotive culture the actions by the "stance" folks have caused an uproar over what has essentially become a form vs function debate. Some believe in order to achieve a certain look, some of the vehicle's function must be compromised while others believe that in order for a vehicle to function properly, it must not go beyond certain limitations that the "form" crowd finds to be too mild for their tastes. And so, like Imports VS Domestics, it is implied that an enthusiast must choose a side. However, there are those such as myself who believe both goals can be achieved simultaneously. A car can be set up to improve it's performance AND improve the looks at the same time, a functional fitment that betters the form. 

But, then again, I also believe if it isn't your car, you shouldn't have a say in how a car is treated, so I just avoid that whole battle altogether.
