lowering, wheel fitment, tasteful rims, maybe diffusers, canards etc. stuff that's easy on the eyes basically

leaving the body stock-looking is kind of popular too. just about any pre-2010 bodykit is just rice nowadays

>>17296456
Lowering springs are dumb. Either do it right with coilovers or don't bother.

Most body kits are dumb. Unless you can actually justify the part with some practical reason you're probably killing your fuel economy and aerodynamics in the process.

In 2017 its all about civics with clear plastic hoods.

There can be more than one thing "in" at a time.

oh and under glow is coming back in fashion I see it pretty often now and it shows up in features

vinyl wraps have crazy visuals popular again

rice is back in with several people making street cars look track

the Rocket Bunny look has been huge for the past couple of years and it doesnt look like its going to stop

restomodding/pro touring is still strong

stance isnt going anywhere no matter how much you guys despise it

>>17297093
yeah and oem+ isnt one of them

>>17297135
Overfenders like Felony Form are definitely OEM+.
>>17297138
That's an OEM wing and it's about as low as any E36 on coilovers, it's not slammed.
>>
Reminder to give your child enough attention or they might turn out to become "tuners" to compensate.
>>
>>17297145
I think he's talking about the improperly fitted tires and the camber, you dunce.
>>
>>17297145
how are overfenders oem+

especially riveted ones

theyre just more Rocket bunny type shit
>>
>>17296456
I've seen many cars with matte paintjob/ foil wraps recently
Other than that nothing new, lowered, big oem wheels

Also not being interested in cars is a thing nowadays (^:
>>
>>17297153
Making ad hominem attacks won't give your argument any more creedence.

The slight camber is natural to E36 suspension when lowered. That is barely any compared to when people try to get camber; definitely not a "stance" car.

18" wheels that are wide as they are necessitate such an aspect. Even 20mm spacers with stock wheels will cause rubbing on the fronts and won't fit the rears without rolling.
>>
>>17297156
OEM+ is about slightly changing the OEM look. If you didn't change anything it would just be OEM. Overfenders that actually keep stock body lines and reference E30 fenders that the E36 M3 lacked therefore are a fine example.

Rivetting is simply a choice, I could not tell from the picture but many are moulded on.

Rocket Bunny is not OEM+, it drastically changes the look. Felony Form is very subtle to the point where you may not even notice it.
>>
>>17297179
oem+ is a stupid name then

its just a lightly modded car

literally nothing special
its something thats been a thing since the beginning of time

doesnt even deserve having a name

Lightly modded is not the same as OEM+. You could strap a giant dildo on your hood and call it lightly modded.

The difference of OEM+ is that it still pays respect to the original stylings and works to build upon it instead of replacing it. I misspoke and oversimplified it's nature.
>>
>>17297205
But you are right in that it is vague because people will have different ideas of what seems original and what has gone too far. But if you aggregate the subjective opinions you therefore come to the definition.

Why?

excuse me then

I was under the impression oem+ is just using oem or affiliated tuner parts (like AMG on Mercedes or Mugen on Honda ect) and keeping it looking like something that would have came from the factory
>>
>>17296456
Do whatever you fucking want, it's your car
>>
>>17297248

Oem plus seeks to maintain the original style of the car while improving it by upgrading and adding parts to enhance the car. A well done oem plus car will leave someone who doesn't know that model or isnt a car person thinking it came stock that way while improving the drivong experience.
>>
>>17297248
Well I would more call that OEM purism. If you are still in the sphere of OEM then what is the + for?

You have stock, OEM, OEM+, and then off to tuners etc.

This, for example, is definitely OEM+. Different suspension, different wheels... But not body kit that entirely changes the look. I mean, if you omit wheels and suspension from being a case of modification but call out overfenders because they are a different part it is just being choosey.
>>
>>17297292
but its not oem since its aftermarket parts

that doesnt look oem in the slightest because the wheels are huge

T H I S.

No such thing as "acceptable" when it comes to cars because for the most part people will either do what they want or hop on whatever trend they find intriguing regardless of what other people think.

You guys arguing ITT are just wasting your breath.
>>
>>17297293
Again if it we're entirely OEM then it wouldn't be OEM+; then it would just be OEM. To call it otherwise would be redundant. OEM + OEM = OEM. So no equations are needed!

OEM+ therefore inherently needs aftermarket parts to qualify as something other than OEM.

And those wheels are probably an OEM size, it is just lower so they appear bigger.
>>
>>17297329
except I already said its not oem you dumb nigger

Mugen isnt OEM

and fuck no that isnt oem size those are like 19s

its not even oem+ its just a stanced BMW lol

what the fuck Im going back to this term being retarded

And I said before that they aren't OEM wheels, I said the size is probably OEM. BMW makes some pretty big wheels. If slightly lowering a car and changing the wheels is called stancing and not OEM+, I don't think you can call anything OEM+.

I don't deal with Japanese cars, but with all German brands I know... AMG, BMW M, etc., their parts are called OEM/Genuine. I assume Mugen is the same thing.
>>
>>17297385
no the E90 never came with anything larger than 18s

>I don't think you can call anything OEM+.

its not even anything but lowered with wheels

its not plus anything
>>
>>17297392
Well great you've proven to yourself that the term means nothing to you, but you continue to care that it means something to other people.
>>
>>17297408
because its a stupid term

its like sjws making up bullshit terms just to they can label something

It's actually a pretty simple concept that doesn't require irrelevant similies.
>>
>>17297414
OEM+ is a subset of lightly modded.
>>
>>17297481
its just a stanced BMW

>>17297512
Terms are not explicitly exclusionary.

>>17297537
its a pointless term tho

Lights are pretty dope.

>>17296456
No mods are acceptable.

Honestly tire lettering looks pretty cool when it's subtle/done right
i.e a stanced Accord with them looks bad
That's popping right now
>>
>>17297292
>stock, OEM, OEM+

Nice autism.
