why don't you just do a big ole roll the first time? so when you decide you want spacers/wider tires you don't have to go back and re-roll your roll

Fixed, rest of NY is not like NYC. I don't run into half the crappy roads I did in NYC in what you out of stater's or NYC'rs call "upstate" NY. I don't plan on slamming like Tilt did. There is a fine line IMO of going to low to look good with the car; too far is ridiculous. I want lower than what I have now but at the same time keeping in mind the hurdles I face around my usual drive.

Right now my tires hit the inner fender on the rear when under speed and there's a sharp, deep enough dip in the road. That's the first thing to fix. I'm not worried about the car bottoming out...yet.

I'm more of a perfectionist than most. Why roll past where it needs to be and have the fender stick out more? I rather mount the tire, put on the car, take it off stands, check, jack up, take tires off, roll, rinse and repeat. Time consuming? Yes. Worth it for a better fit and flows better? Yes.


Oh and my parents used to own 3 Arabian horses and 4 work horses doing farm work when I grew up.

Sexy! I like the trunk the way it is, that lip coming off of the back looks nice....makes it look LIKE a csl, but it's optional should he change his mind...

I have to admit, once I saw that you parked on the white line, It distracted me from the modness....

tsk rev...tsk, you're a better driver/parker than that! jkjk!

morning ry

Actually, from the 1st pic Seph it seems no one can park to Rev's right anyhow. Doesn't even look like a parking space.
