You need to polish those rear fenders though.

DAMN!!!!!!! Jerry, your car looks amazing with our panels and wheel adapters..

We've decided that we want you and Jarek to to get some nasty photo's showing off our panels. were trying to finish our Vette magazine ad, and I think your cars would look perfect in them.

Soo, if you can, when their all painted, get some really cool shots for us. This way we can plaster them up in a few magazines..

You need to get the fronts now..

Default Too Low!

You guys enjoy your slammed rides. The previous owner of mine took it as far as the bolts would go. I Took my boss for a ride and between the two of us we weigh between 450-500lbs. That was too heavy for the speedbump... even a small one taken at an angle and at 2mph. Tore the lowering bolt out of the passenger rear end.

Lesson 1: Passenger seats are meant for 108lbs hotties.
Lesson 2: I can't drive a lowered Vette.

When I fixed the suspension, I took it back up to stock. It's my daily driver and I didn't like the harsh ride... but man, it looked cool lowered!
