Thumbs up Finally lowered

here is the wheel gap before

and


and after

and ( this pic looks odd for some reason)




and here is how low i wish i could ride


i frenched my headlights also cause i really loved the look of DaInFaMMuS1's car that look makes me want to drive 24 hours at LeManns.
I need some bigger tires , get me offa those 35 series i was thinking some 45 by 205 to get that stretched look going on
and before anyone says i need clear corners... i ordered them this morning and a set of 6k hid

im sure the ticket i get for the frenched headlights will be the same color yellow

Get some 40 series tires and you'll be golden, not a fan of the headlights, but I like that u did the m3 mirrors to match at least

stay the same height, get thicker tires. it doesnt matter how bad the roads are, the tires look too small no matter how low the car is.

nice license plate (dirt box) haha

Your best bet is to pm him, however I wouldn't slam my car before driving all that distance back from FL, just me though, also he may give you issues about shipping to somewhere that's not paypal verified
