so... yes needs to be lowered, get a front plate, black blackbird stripes, and some new tips... she will be perfect IMO

If you want to lower your car, good, just do it for the right reasons and dont fool yourself or others.
so i guess i'm not "fooling myself or anyone"... lol, i guess you just felt the need to say a cliche?
but if you think 5 inch wheel gaps look good then I'm sorry to hear that, more power to you.

that location is awesome. i need to take some good pics of my car when spring comes around. but i also think it should be lowered, just looks better in my opinion when u have aftermarket wheels..but otherwise the car looks really nice and clean!

Love the Grand Sport stripes, but im kinda biased Also think it needs to be lowered, but once again, kinda biased 
Awesome pics tho!! Nice choice on the location. And for the people that say they dont have a place like that around to take pics, i guarantee you have many places that would be good for a photoshoot...eeeehhhh, 2-8 miles from you.

I didnt felt any need of saying a cliche, I felt the need to provide a little more accurate info, go say that to all the guys that always bring the 4x4 comment. Now thats a "cliche" for you!!...maybe your not a fool but surely sounded like one, but hey more power to you!

Nice clean car, I like the location of the pics, and the "peak-a-boo" pics are adorable. 
A drop and black corners to match your black wheels and tinted windows would make it look EVEN better.

LOL, the first thing I thought when I seen it was holy 4x4, guess I wont say that now lol..
Nice start on a pretty cool car, great location also, but like the others have said, the wheel gaps too large, the car needs a drop to be considerd beautiful, and you will notice a improvment in handeling, anytime you lower the CG of your car, its a givin.
