Default Cool little video about RWB Porsche

I'm sure there are at least a few fans of RWB on here - found a cool little video showing Akira Nakai building a few cars. His approach to customizing is very artistic and natural - I really appreciate his style.

couple cars he's built:

I dig the style. But prefer a bit more "traditional" treatment with the wheels and tires.

So is he the origin of the "stance nation" / "hella flush" stuff?

Looks like the primary difference with his cars is that they don't rub on every bots dot.

I wouldn't really call his cars "stanced" - most of the stance/hella flush/canibeat cars I've seen are almost like caricatures of race cars. Unnecessary amounts of camber, overly stretched tires, and ride height well below what would be considered street friendly.

RWB doesn't have stretched tires, excessive camber, and while I'd say they're low, they definitely aren't at the point of some of the hella flush cars I've seen. Honestly - to me - the RWB cars look a lot like what most of the guys on here are trying to do with muscle cars.

They sort of remind me of this mustang, in terms of styling:

Put a set of Singer "Fuchs" on that burgundy car and it'd be perfect.....provided the performance lives up to the visage.
