There's no doubt that Volkswagen has a strong presence in the stance scene. Many corners of StanceWorks' forum are littered with varying generations of varying Volkswagens, each carrying its own unique street-sweeper stance.

There hasn't been too much static content on this website lately.

We here at Fluid are beginning to feel like Larry Flynt. The smut we peddle, though, is of a different variety of his. Here in Plainfield, we are incredibly proud of Craig's and Tom's metalwork, and we are not afraid to display as much of it as often as we can.

We can't divulge too much information about one of our more secretive projects, but we can offer you a sneak peek and a couple sentences on the matter.
From now on, not all the beautiful welding jobs you see will be the work of Craig. Starting yesterday with the 7-series' exhaust, some of the weld jobs are being undertaken by Craig's protege, Tom.
As time inevitably marches forward, things will inevitably age. In the 21st century, we have Botox and rhinoplasty and various creams and surgeries designed to reverse the effects of aging. Thankfully, it's a bit easier with cars.
