^LOL

Also not digging the wheels. Maybe if it was slammed or on bags or just lower... They look really out of place with wheel gap.

I am digging the dipped box trim and manifold cover. How does that hold up with the engine heat? Also what is that design? Is it supposed to be wood of sorts? If so, you made a trim plate out of cheap wood and then had it 'painted' to look like fancy wood? Haha, it would have been way cooler had they just used a piece of good wood and stained it That's how I would have done it.

Finally, what are you running for audio gear, the W3's are about the only ones I can make out. Sound processor? Speakers? TELL ME MOREEE!!!!

Not the same look as others go for but I like it! I think it is looks gangster. Audio setup is super clean. You went the extra mile with it and it shows! Nice work

Thanks for the love (and hate) lol. Here's a sneak peak of what I am working on. I am hopefully ordering some Largus coilovers at the end of this month, just waiting for a re-stock. This is what I am hoping to achieve.

I don't know your tire specs or how stiff the largus coilovers are but I have tein comfort sport and I have that problem and i'm nowhere near that low...

Thanks, yes that was photoshopped. Had to make sure that's what I wanted before pulling the trigger.

Here's how it sits now, installed them my self last week. No fender rubbing, not even on turns. I did roll and pull my fenders however. The stiffness is also adjustable and I have them set on the hardest setting.

Thanks, and I am not sure about the fronts, they can go a lot lower, I just didn't due to rubbing. They will go lower than the rears.

The rears are maxed out in the pic, but I recently dropped it another inch or so by removing the spring perches and just running the spring alone.

Keep in mind I have 22's so if I was to down size my wheels to 20's my car would be slammed.
