fatlace/illest?
whats the deal? why is this stuff so sought after?

I'm not a "lifestyle" car guy, so maybe I missed something. Why is this stuff so "cool"?

as vague as that explanation is...I guess it's probably the best there is...I just don't understand people paying $10 for stickers and $20 for license plate frames.

I just don't understand people so eager to advertise on their car for a company that didn't that didn't contribute.

It's just life.

People buy Nike shoes instead of Payless shoes.
People buy a Famous Stars and Strap shirt instead of a plain white one.

People eat "Frosted Flakes" instead of "Ralph's frosted cereal".

None of those brands are contributing to the buyer for their advertising.

Fatlace and illest in is a touchy subject for the supporters I believe. There is really no reason for this style or look its a form of expression I guess. Gives someone the thought they are in an exclusive group. Yet anyone can buy a sticker. The person or company who created these stickers is banking on people trying to be "unique" if you want to be unique build a car you like. Other things that I don't understand are; snow plow bumpers, crazy paint colors, wheels that are far too wide to be functional, dildo shift knobs, and anything you bought that had the cool jdm tyte brand when you wasted an extra x amount of dollars when you could buy a replica that's identical. Sorry if the punctuation is bad wrote this on the cellularrrrr

Its trendy like the whole state of CA. I don't get the whole sticker thing either. I understand that fatlace sells clothes but nobody can ever explain to me what illest is other than it just sounds like a fancy word that could come from the dictionary. To me it just seems like a sticker company that sells stickers. I guess people just like the logo and feel the need to have that logo all over them to feel like they are a part of something. Either way, fatlace, hellaflush, and illest are all lame.

fellahush is awesome. Please sell me some.

I actually like Fatlace and all the stuff they do. I'm not from Cali nor live there but to me they're just cool peeps that like cars/fashion/design/streetculture. Its all about the branding/marketing though. The head guy knows what he's doing. They have lots of cool content on their site though. Plus the whole hellaflush movement gave a name to that style, so people follow. I'm probably not gonna rock their stickers but give them much respect, no hate from me.

^ fully agree. I am not into reping stickers for other people but no doubt they have some smart marketing skills.

and I thought Illest is for the Illinois peeps?? What's the point of rocking it if your not from there???

As someone mentioned before it just gave a "identity" to something we all follow.

I do enjoy their posts from time to time but this post.....
