Exhaust tip.

Personally, I don't think they're too big.. it made the car look a lot nicer, IMO.

I was actually looking at maybe running that same custom exhuast setup. Did you have it done at F1?

You haven't seen his real mini me yet.

The lowering and exhausts look good...a lot better than having stock tips IMO.

I had the exhausts done at an exhaust shop in the valley.

Clark's actually the one doing the mods.. I'm just sellin' *** on the streets so I can get the cash for them.

I resized the pictures to be more friendly for 56kers.. Maybe I'll add some video clips later.

You need some pictures that are a bit farther away, and without obstructions. Other than that, nice setup.

I'll probably draw some hate for this, but I don't understand why people want to do away with wheel gap. To me, it says the wheels actually have some room to move on the suspension.

To me, a car looks better when it sits up on its wheels ... it looks like it's all frisky and ready to run and play. A car that sits too low looks blocky and overweight and maybe like it has too many bricks in the trunk.

No offense to your ride ... just my personal opinion.

I appreciate your opinion. Originally, I wasn't going to lower the car that much, but I just loved how it looked slammed like that. Didn't affect ride quality at all, it's actually better than stock.


And for wheels, I have a few wheels in mind. I'll post more pics when I get the wheels on there.
