i got ur back Schnitz!!!, leave it looks really good man, any lower with that offset and u wont b able to turn ur wheel and if there is a dip on the road on a turn ur fenders r done, and same goes for going up an incline into a parking lot or some sort with the wheel turned, there will b a lot of rubbing with pieces of tire flying off. i no from daily experiences

You can go lower and it should fit fine even as a daily like mine is as i am lower than you.

Looking nice., not really feeling the ebay grille. Never saw one on a car but the support slats behind the grille make it look cheap . See if yuo can paint it all black or atleast mask the front part and spray the rear part black so it looks cleaner.

And remove the black from the fogs

dude you like copied my car to a degree.



jk, you did steal the blacked out fogs/bumper lights and quad exit rears from me

and yes, you can go MUCH lower. i am a lot lower than you and drive on roads very likely to be worse than yours on a daily basis.

with SKPerformance's look on the grill

Sorry guys, not going any lower anytime soon. It'll need alot more camber & fender rolling and that's not happening for a while due to lack of time and funds. Rear tire has about 2mm of clearance from the lip. We even had a hard time getting the front of the car off the lift - 2 stacked 2"x4"s did the trick.
The grille is an exact replica of the Carson tuned one. You can see the vertical supports on the Admiration one too. Not to mention 50% of the cars in the UCF dedicated March issue if VIPCAR. I like it.
The fogs will most likely be going back to clear. I did get the idea from your car PD. I think the clear ones look more classy and that's the look I'm going for.
The dual tips everyone and their Grandma has in any VIP mag. Neither of us is a pioneer in that respect.
PD, haven't you had the Megans on for a while? Where's the pics?

looks clean, but stance really is holding it back from being a head turner. mod wise, love everything other than the blacked out lights.

Schnitz - car looks good bro - yeah a bit like PD's but why not since he has a killer LS. I do like it the way it is. Sure you could go lower but I bet it is very driveable at the height it is now. Grille looks good too.

Do it. Come to Quebec, and you will magically never complain about your roads. Trust me.
