Geez, if I lower my car anymore, I'll have to look up to see down !

Too Low is just Ghetto. The Vettes are low enough, what are we trying to say here, ruin the bottom of our cars ? Trying to run the salt flats ? I like the fact i can drive my vette around most places without hurting the bottom. I don't like the fact of leaving skid marks on speed bumps or worry about igniting gas fumes everytime i pull in or out of a gas station

I'm a big fan of the Silvers / Pewters with chrome / polished combination. Looks fantastic.
