dont even think about not dropping the car, it looks to funny, and to be honest it loooks so crappy...

dropping the car is cheap for the springs...
and the struts can come after you have saved some money

Most people think they'll be fine with just 18" and 19" but end up getting springs because it looks so bad. Don't be one of them, plan on getting springs with your rims.

No come now I dont live in New Orleans any more, I scraped it but that was my fault for not looking just one time. The bottom is bound to get scratched but can get fixed. Keep in mind is made out of Polyutherane so is thick plastic!!

Slam it baby!!!if aint sprints it aint dropped!!

Its gonna be fun once I slam it. Most of my friends told me not to slam it because of the scrape conditions around here. Damn hick towns
