Default WS7 Lowered Pics!

I found some time today to change the oil and do a little photoshoot. Car was not detailed though but it gives an idea of its current stance.

It is running BMR's with 1" drop, and KYB adjustables 7/5 settings. Im surprised at the stance since it looks lower than i expected, but i like it!

Looks nice! Great stance...

You should adjust the driver's side headlight so that it fits just as flush as the passenger side IMO

Looks really good those wheels work nicely with that color but that chrome piece behind the window ruins it. Reminds me of those chrome peices that people put between the windows a chrysler 300's and chargers.

Actually, if youre talking about above the headlight, I think thats because of the hood. It is obviuosly an aftermarket hood. You can see how the fitment is just a little bit off everywhere. Also, look at the thickness of the front of the hood below the nostrils

Actually what he is saying is NOT because the aftermarket hood. The headlight needs a little tweaking since a few months ago I changed the headlight pop up motor. Although I agree the fitment is a bit off compared with a OEM WS6 hood.

Ride is firmer but much more stable than with the DeCrapon shocks. I still need to take it to the local highway for further "testing"....
