I'm all for getting rid of what I call "ugly wheel gap", but yeah, that's only good for a picture! Good job with the photoshop though.

I'll definitely be lower than most whenever I get around to installing my Coilovers, but at least I'll still be above the top of the tire.

No speed bumps for this baby.
Definitely a candidate for "Big Daddys".
Wanna "virtually slam" your car? PM me with a photo or link to one and I'll see what I can do.
Lowered is one thing but this is not for me, Too low.
