That was no illusion it was from the other side being jacked up. I had the adjust the coils no way i was riding that low.

LOL, oh good, thought I was going nuts. But actually, even the guys that are dumped end up going as low as possible in front and back and it doesn't visually look that great. It ends up having the same look that i don't like that Bimmers suffer from, rear tucking majorly and front just no fender gap.

Myron, Acurazine is for nice comments only, you should know that by now. Now please reply with "that ish is dope"

Ty guys. Car only looks perfect hard parked cause she rubs like a bi*** when making turns. Most of the rubbing has been eliminated by trimming the fender liner. After relocating the bumper tabs everything should be okay.

Duuuude no fair, you got bags. Looks so sick. You've probably been asked many time, but how much fender work do you have done?

Thanks Jeremy...don't think I'm feeling that adventurous yet. Do they actually make white plastidip?

thanks man... the fenders were cut and pulled when i had coils. the bags required more pull. right now they are a little wavy and messed up. its not too noticeable in pictures but it drives me insane because i know its their lol. im holding off on fixing them bc i have some plans that will require major fender work so it makes no sense to fix them with the current setup.
