Hard to see due to color of car, even hard to see in real life

this is the exact bbq paint I used for grill ( just drove my car on a 390 mile round trip on the highway yesterday and grill still remains with 0 chips!! ) the stuff is amazing , plus the matte black is sick
Also FYI Plasti Dip spray works like a champ also!! Put two coats on my old Audi grill and it looked great and held up well....might even look cool on a set of winter wheels.........

wow, looks great. i was just reading this entire thread looking for specs lol. i found them but yeah the rim size is great and the drop is great and tire size is great. i didnt see what tire size your running...it looks perfect though. and i swore to my wife i wouldnt drop our/her car but iam not convinced that i need to keep that promise. your drop is perfect for what iam looking for. just enough to take the gap out but not tucking tire or front bumper a half inch off the ground. so my questions are as follows.. how well does it ride compared to a stock setup? and would you think my ditzy wife would ride around on the exact setup you have and not worry too much about her bottoming it out?... so sorry for the rambling but i really like this look.
