    looks good as is, but looks like your gonna need to roll the fenders if you go any lower, but i think like a half inch, so that there is no wheel gap at all.

    yeah I know I do wanna lower it so there is no wheel gap, but you can't even really tell until you get up real close...and I kinda like being able to turn my wheel alll the way now without scrubbing my inner fender...lol


    If any of ya'll see me at the V then come take a look and throw me some suggestions!

    More hassles? Driving a slammed car isn't hard at all. Our roads aren't THAT terrible. I wanna go lower but I gotta repave the entrance to my damn driveway first And get rid of my lip *cough*trade*cough*
