PERFECT!
The word has already been used but I can't think of another that is more appropriate.

I think its pretty clear that 'nice stance' is personal opinion -- regardless of originality, restomod or modified status of the car. Some things just 'look right'...some don't...

It's like when a woman asks if her a$$ looks too big in her jeans. Different opinions on that, too . . . unless, of course, it's your wife and then the correct answer is always "no"

If you are a REAL man you say, "Yes, but I wouldn't blame it on the jeans..."
That is -- if you have good hospitalization !
