    im honestly not sure if i want to lower it anymore, and to be honest it is lowered. uses stechs but i know its not the "tucking" everyone else does. to me, and i dont know why it is, but for driving, it just seems stupid to be slammed, UNLESS its strickly a track car, and even then, not on the ground.

    I say screw the fad. Well not really a fad people have been doing it forever, but none the less forget what others think. I am a fan of having SOME wheel gap, to me tucking looks broken, there is a reason cars are sold with ground clearance, and even race cars usually have some visible wheel gap. Not to mention it's just not smart for a daily to have trouble clearing speed bumps and steep driveways and such. To me slammed cars scream one thing, and that is anti-function. What is something that not only doesn't add function but actually reduces it? In my eyes, rice. Then people say "but it looks good". Well, does it look good to you, or has the community told you it looks good so you go with it? In my opinion, if you actually stop to look at some of the cars, some just shouldn't be slammed, even from a strictly aesthetic point of view.

    At any rate, none of it matters unless you, the owner are happy. I really like you car despite me hating front wheel drive with a passion lol. I like what path you've chosen with your mods, and the care you've taken in keeping it nice, but more importantly, I hope you enjoy what you have done, as the vehicle is really clean, tasteful,and I hope it continues to bring you happiness.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
