I think it looks great! Maybe tint the windows like EddieL98 said but other than that I wouldn't do anything too drastic...

I think if you lowered it about an inch in the front and 1.5" - 2.5" in the rear, it would look really sharp. :cheers:

Re: what do you think (dtorc4)

i would like to lower it and bought a lowering kit on ebay a while back, but haven't installed it because i bottom the car out all the time as it is. please understand that this car is never babied, i run it hard and fast all the time. i agree that it should be down a bit but i'm afraid that there would be nothing left of the underside after about a week. how does everyone else get away with it? :cheers:

Re: what do you think (DETROITc4)

Nice Detroit! Ya, drop the rear at least! I have to agree. I dropped the rear on mine 1.5" and it changed it's stance/appearance in a way that totally surprised me.

Makes it look lower and wider.

Hey Detroit-

Here is a challenge for you.

Photochop a 4-6" lift with cool wheels and tires on my truck. Considering it...

Are you hearing the theme? Tint and lower and the beauty is they are both low cost mods. :)
