Thought I'd crack open this can of worms. Try to be civil now. Here's a description on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bling

To me anything "bling" for a vehicle is chrome and/or in excess

Is a lift just for looks bling?

Only if you are running 22" rims with low profile tires

So a spacer lift and 33+" muds just for street use isn't bling?
Just exploring definitions here. Not to pick on just lifts, but there's lots of grossly over-lifted trucks on the freeways here in Houston that look scary to drive and just plain stupid, IMO. Poorly engineered and dangerous. Good ole boy bling if you ask me.

Bling is anything that is done to a car in a rap video for the purpose of showing how much money the rapper makes.
