Haha, tucking up to the lip of the wheel = no sympathy.

Shouldn't these be displayed on the bumper bolts?

"this guy clearly doesn't know how to drive a low car" - jackass commenter that doesn't understand that you can't drive a car with 1" ground clearance, at all.

I question how he got that far in the first place.

What bolts? It didn't look like much was holding those bumpers on, to begin with.

That's the internet for you.

When you can't go up a gently-sloped driveway without tearing both bumpers off, you MIGHT have gone too far with the drop.

I'll admit I like the look of stanced cars, but if you want to go that low, put the damn thing on airbags.

I think the camera person might have known it was coming. The one astute person there.

Stancebros usually use a pairs of pegs on the bumper and body linked with elastic bands to hold their bumpers on for this reason. When you try to drive over a minor lip or a large pebble, it allows the bumper to move a bit, and if it does get pulled off nothing will get torn other than the elastics. They also make it easy to remove the bumper quickly.

It gives 'em an excuse to add gratuitous zipties.

We looked at a house yesterday that i'm reasonably sure won't allow me to put my daily driver in the driveway.

Agreed. Probably got a lot of good shots of cars being ripped up there.

Well, when you get your easy money selling drugs, I guess blowing a few hundred on trashed body kits is no big deal.

Lotus Sevens (and friends) do the same to hold the hood on, but that's because the whole thing moves around so much that solid latches wouldn't hold. Also see: Wrangler.

Is there a back story we missed? Is this guy a known drug dealer?

Its a silvia chassis, chances are the front bumper, fenders, and headlights are held on with zip ties.
