I agree the ride height looks "okay".....but it can be better....the stance is so important, I dont want to settle for "okay". It has to look bad ass at ride height and then absolutely sick when I drop it.

As for the front bumper....not sure. I wish I could have Tim do that one too, but its just not in the budget, The front bumper has a decent look to it already but I hate the end shape. I may try my hand at some mods and see how it goes. Nothing fancy...just re-shape the ends some...we'll see.... I may even get bold and try the Camaro bumper design like Sick Fish. Worst case is a destroy 2 camaro bumpers

I would keep it the way it is for ride height. Your on air so your going to drop it when its parked anyways. The money spent on lowering it could be spent else where like front bumper, roll cage, etc

I had a friend with a Cuda have the same hack work done, but that was twenty years ago.....it's a shame people don't check out referances BEFORE handing over the car and handing out the cash......

I have seen the work Bruning is doing first hand, and being biased because I know Tim and his work, I would take advantage of the fact the car is there now and the price is most definately right for the level of work.

For the other Mopar guys, and Bob's Camero.....Tim is in no way partial to cutting up any make of car to make it better. A Challenger or Cuda will stand out in the sea of Nova's and Camero's for sure, but like any car, it's all in the deatils and the less obvious the mods, the better the job.
