Nice! Two suggestions since you asked for them...

1. Get a grille of some kind. The six dimples in the 'non-grille' just plain look bad.

2. Lower it to get rid of the 'off-road 4x4 look'.

I agree with Mark.

I also suggest clear corner lights. They would look sexy on that silver car.

Congrats on Car of the Week.

1.5 inches probably. Thats what I lowered mine. I wish I had've went a little lower but any lower and there would be serious clearance issues. I like the sound of the bottom of my car scraping though so. haha

1LastZ,

I actually like your ride height myself. Best I can tell your car looks pretty well balanced. Love those Wheels!. They look great on the Silver Car!. I'd consider those very same wheels for my car. Are those the LGM World Challenge wheels or the Real Enkei's?
