... i plan to go a little lower next year (after winter) but presently i scrape slightly on the inside fender liner when going over big dips. i scrape the inside fender liner (its like a fibery plastic material, not metal) a little more when me (150) and my friend (200++) sat in the rear seat while someone else drove when going over dips in the road. since its just the fender liner i'm not too concerned with it but i am going to figure out something to fix this in the coming days...
.......is it me or the wheel arc make the back look closer to the tire?

When I was active in the vette community, one of the things folks looked for on used cars was rubber buildup in the rear wheelwells due to burnouts.

got some new pics up... it helps when the car is clean and oh yeah the new 18mp canon eos rebel t2i helps out a great deal as well.
this one ^ ^ ^ and the one below it \|/ are my favorite pics. i am just learning this camera and i put it on full F stop (or whatever its called) in a few of the pics but i forget which ones..
i love how the car changes colors, but not all of the shades are my favorite,, i like the darker shades better personally. now if i could only get out there and wax it one of these days. it hasn't been waxed in like 6+ months. yeah i need to get on that. i have all the clay bar stuff and everything but it took me over 6 hours to clay bar it like 99% all over and then put 2 coats of wax on it and detail the wheels and interior last time and i need to do it again now that i will hopefully not have any more tires in my back seat for a while i hope.

thanks guys ^ ^ ^ specially you joe ,, but yeah still need a tripod.
i usually go down bay ridge by myself and just live park and get a few good pics. only thing is that it might be hard to get more than one car in the shot but even if its only one it should be all good. bay ridge has no parking signs all along it though, but who cares.

so i took some scissors to the inside rear fender liner (both sides) and trimmed about 1.5 inches off that is closest to the outside fender and about 90% of my scrapping is completely gone. i thought it was 100% gone but i heard it once when going over a huge dip in the road at speed.
should i lower the back more? and if so by how much? i would love to be tucking half the rear tire but i'm afraid that it may lead to even more rubbing issues. there's really only 1 way to know for sure though i think i will lower it a half inch to start in the rear and see if it gets a lot worse again and where if any is the rubbing coming from, if that goes well i'll drop it another half inch and go from there. any suggestions.
also i got some kick *** scenic shots with nice water views in the background and a little bit of a beach backdrop in a few of them with my car and my buddies black 3gs tuckin 20's as well.
