Man, seeing those pics made me decide that I'm going to spend some money on my car when I get back. It's going to look just like yours but without the clear corners. I already knew I wanted the tt2s but now I want a roll bar too and the ss grille. How much of a drop do you have on it? It is beautiful!!

Your car is BAD-***!!

I have to know, does your car hit **** being that lowered? I put mine back to stock cause of my LT headers were hitting most every bump/slope I went over. I also need a photography lesson from you
