Default Finally lowered the V this weekend.

I will start off by saying, DO NOT FORGET TO ROLL THE FENDER LIP'S IN... trust me. Lickily no damage by it did scare the sidewalls a bit. I am running slightly larger tires all around so stock size might not be needed as bad.

I built my own rear lowering plates with 3/8" plate with DOM roll cage tubing about an inch high all mig welded together (sorry no pics, wish I would have).

Anyways, rides real nice, little rougher than stock, but well worth it in my opinion.

Man, I ALMOST got a Z06 before the V, but needed the rear seats for the kids.

Its crazt tho how much I love this car tho. Pic's honestly do not do it justice. See'ing it in and hearing it in person is sweet. I would definetly buy another one if something ever happened to this one. Gotta be black tho even tho it's a PITA to keep up.

That is super low, looks good! Remove the "CTS" emblem, just leave the V's. That is what I did to the trunk.
