Well here is what it would look like lowered with tint...this is my car right now. I have true duals and rarely scrape, it's a pain to tuck them sometimes but it helps a ton. Flip the fuel line clips over to lift them up then tuck the pipes up as much as possible.


Damn JP your photo chop makes me wanna lower mine a little more.
