Seriously, if you can back your car OVER one of those parking block bullshit things, then you are doing something wrong.

i like it. good lookin' paint and wheels.

the flares are subtle enough you can get by with them. you could definitely get some spacers or something to make the rears fill it out better.

throw some eibach springs on it and some nice struts for a more appealing ride without being overly low and paranoid. that isn't that scary high - i think some people here have gotten so used to being SO low that they exaggerate how bad stock height is. your car doesn't have to be 1 inch off the ground to look good.

Damn, do you all expect cars to be this low?



Actually this is stock hight on my old MR2, but same idea.



I'm glad I can go over speed bumps and not worry, and that I don't have to get my bumper repaired annually.

Well, if my car was slammed, I would have to repair my bumper atleast once a year to keep it looking good, oooor, I could have stock-slightly lowered, and not have to worry about shit like that.

generally, the lower a car is, the better it looks. it just comes down to how much the driver is willing to change driving habits. sure, if you generally don't give a shit about dukes-of-hazarding a speed bump, driving into curb stops, baja 500 potholes and what not, don't lower your car.

op- car is definitely clean, and over all i like, but yeah, lower is always better, and wider wheels are cooler.

Everyone wants to see a slammed car scrape on road reflectors. What size tires are on there? They look a little small. More tire will fill up the fenders more and raise the car. Then lower it back down to the height it is now. If you look at the front bumper height, it's in the "low" range. It's just all that wheel gap that makes the car look 4x4.
