Where do you guys live where setups like this are comfortable? The streets in North Texas range from perfect to Range Rover, and a single route across 3 highways will show you everything. I couldn't imagine a flush/stanced car on these roads, or even cutting through some neighborhoods around here with the "you kids slow down" giant speed bumps across the entire street.

I don't think it's a static setup, he is probably on air suspension. Which means that he can go from perfect to Range Rover streets with a click of a button

Haha glad people are finally catching on to that. I had it removed. I did it on my Genesis and I wanted to do it on this car. Plugged up the hole and all the electronics were relocated to the inside of the car between the headliner and the roof. The navigation antenna portion of it had to be re-soldered at a different angle because of the room in there. Then my roof was painted Porsche Panamera amethyst and it has a **** ton of flake in it. It looks beautiful under the right lighting. My last car was purple so I wanted to add a touch of my history into this car

No sir I'm not on air I'm on coilovers.

The only part that is getting in the way right now is the metal bracket that holds the front bumper to the fenders. I had to get it hammered flat because it was catching the tire. I got one side perfect but haven't had time to do the other side yet. Other wise no problems

The tiny mudflaps on the front bumper pretty much are on the ground. I see them get pulled around when my girl drives off in my car haha

I live in the Arlington/Mansfield area man. But I daily my car and my girlfriend drives it all day really. Been doing this for years so I've gotten used to how to steer it and when to brake and what roads to take all around DFW lol. And speed bumps... well there is definitely a limit. I went to a local Vietnamese church last night and the speed bumps are pretty small and I could feel the transmission getting tugged at a bit. Needless to say I ended up parking near the exit. I wanted to test out the limits so now I know what it can handle. The church also has big sliding metal gates at the entrance on rails and I clipped those rails. I know a lot of people don't understand why or how we could do that to a new car but we get used to it. If anything happens it's our fault for sure. I've never had anything major happen to my cars though

Thanks everyone else!
