Looks Good!

I thought it was somewhat dropped, but I guess it isn't.

Looks good and a little more drop would complete the look. BTW, your windows look pretty dark.

nice! looks flush from that angle. I want to get 35 series all around but dont want to rub. Currently running 30's rubber bands, I feel so vulernable when driving. The prokit is a good combo with 20's unless of course coilovers.

need a drop!!! but I think you will rub with a 35 series tire up front though.

and how did your calipers get so corroded in FL? Mine still look like they did when they came from the factory.
