That simply looks amazing especially with those wheels. I'm going to lower mine soon even though at stock height I scrape backing out of my driveway. Oh well!

BTW, what size are the wheels and where did you get them?

Question for all you lowering Guru's. Is an alignment a MUST after you lower and the car settles, or is it kind of a wait and see if it needs alignment?
