Car looks very nice. I have to agree that it does not look lowered at all. I have the Eibach Prokit on my car and it almost covers the top of the rear tire with the fender,barely can get 1 finger over top of tire between tire and fender.
I really like the 17x11's on the rear. I have chrome ZR1's stock and am dieing to add the 17x11's. Just concerned about how heavy the wheels are.
