Thanks dude! Brett was saying the same thing. He thinks it looks much meaner than before. I think the front is close to the same ride height as before but the rear is much lower. The car used to have a slight rake and now is level. And having a few more inches of rubber in the back helps.

Looks great. I saw your car briefly at the Hotchkis event last summer and it looked good but now it will be on a much higher level with all these goodies.

Thanks guys. Honestly, positive feedback on the site helps cool the pain of some of the hickups in the project lol.

I tried to find a pic of V2.0 to compare to some of the pics I took today. This is the best I could find after a quick search. Different cameras and angles but you can see how much different the rear of the car looks compared to before.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Man, that looks freaking awesome!!! You've got to be pumped! That thing has got some serious attitude going on. It looks hyper aggressive at that ride height and that much tire. That is sweet bro---congrats. I've been out of the office, but let's get together this Friday if you are free for lunch.

I hope you being out of the office was because you were basking in the sun on vacation somewhere. I am pretty excited to have the car on the ground again, even if it has to go back on the lift to finish stuff underneath. That rear shot was definitely my favorite that I took ha ha. Friday may be a no go. I'm trying to do a half day and wakeboard in the morning then go to work so I wont be around for lunch. Maybe tomorrow if you are around.

Love the stance man, glad that things are working out better now. Speaking of the position of the front wheels, I have got Speedtech front clip complete kit, and the front wheels on both sides are positioned farther back in the wheel well than center like yours. I don't know if it's an alignment issue or it is something normal with Speedtech front clip kit.

Chad, while more issues discovered by that hacker shop definitely sucks, it feels really good knowing you are feeling good seeing the car looking so killer like that. Looking bad ass man. You make me wanna have a pro touring car.



You leavin that 327 emblem on there?
