At first I was like
But then it rubbed like a son of a bitch and I had to raise it two inches...
Temporary ride height:
Currently at about 27" from ground to fender all around. Because of that the rear looks lower because of fender shapes. I had to do an emergency rubber mallet roll on the front because I bent the fender out while turning back into the parking lot. Oh well.
I'll have my fender roller back tomorrow. This weekend I'll do a good roll and pull all the way around. I want the rear to go down at least a half inch and the front to go down an inch, inch and a half. More to come!

ride height dialed in, corner balanced and aligned.
front had to come up because of the corner balancing and it was rubbing pretty terrible. still looks good, though!

the picture is a bit misleading because it's the "good" angle to take pictures of this car from and the tires are down in ruts in the parking lot. here's a shot from the front that shows it's not completely dumped.
tires are all still barely tucked which means the front is technically lower than the rear because of the shapes of the fenders, but the rockers are completely level with the ground front to back. i like how it sits.

Were the other two plasti-dipped or wrapped or actually painted? Regardless, they all look great! I'd love some details on the vented hood - got any additional pics or some contact info for the owner?
