ya, it looks better to most normal people in the morning pic, only a few people only from so cal will understand the 2nd pic. We have our own culture/tastes out here. But you'll see this look hitting your street in about a year from now

It might look better on another color car, a lighter color, so that the wheels stand out.

Dude, CL.... heh I lived in East Los Angeles(near Chinatown) for 16 (figure I'm 20) years and only moved here recently. I don't think it's more of a culture thing then it is about preference. I just think it's a little too black and the silver rims gave it class btw, did you lower that baby more in the 2nd pic?

Now that shit looks hella tight. I knew that shit would be off the hook. Now thats what you call black magic SoCali style. Your right though, we both knew what the board response would be. Looks tight with the sportlines on too.

I like, I really like.

Scott, the second one is soo PHAT! The first one is also nice.

It would really look tight if you clear your front lights, add a front lip, tint your windshield and drop it 3 inches!!!

tommy, a buddy and me did the install of the springs


arnold, i like the ride, although it does rub a lil bit when i hit a corner real hard, but nothing a little shaving of a fender liner can't solve

they probally gave me a lil more then 2" drop up front and rear.

Thanks for the compliments guys

It looks like someone squished Darth Vader's helmet onto a set of wheels.

But I like it. Something about black wheels makes me think "gee, that must have some mods done to it and it's probably really fast" so I think it works well for you.

Oh Damn! That's a big drop. I think you are lower than me. What did you estimate the overall drop to be anyway.
Car looks tight. Something different I like.

You said your rubbing a bit? Do you have a camber kit? Cause I think that is the only reasonl I am not rubbing. How do the sportlines ride?

Nice work.

It does look like a "Metro" police vehicle. Now all you need is the search light (with hand grip) by the driver side mirror...
