Not going to lie, you sit really low in your car :D

^ Hahaha just noticed this too

I have my seats all the way down. I'm about 5'8"

[CHIF8008]

what size are your wheels? from straight on they look small but from the side they look much bigger.

my headrests sit barely above the bottom of the window seals on mine. (sport seats)



*if you are sitting that low then you need to do a window chop on the vert and lower the top. then you can drive under rigs and all that :)

No worries, we're about the same height. Mine are down too, it gives the full effect of the lownessessssesssssessssessss.

Wheels are 16x9. I feel that people in trucks think they're superior by the way they look at me sometimes. Fuck them. And I needa to find a rig trailer laying around to take some pics and see how far off my roofline is.

Im glad you removed the brows. Looks far better. Im with most here, raise the rear a bit to get rid of the reverse rake. I have a bit of a reverse and I drives me batty. total pkg looks great V. :up:

Centered the steering wheel:

Nardi goodness:

Drove it around the block, pulled over a couple times to adjust it.
I know this pic means nothing, but it's centered now.



So I may end up fixing the problem that my rear suspension has <1" of travel. What are your opinions on KYB (GR2 or Excel-G) Camaro shocks? I've heard good things about them (nice and stiff), but I'm not sure how much more they can actually compress over my current ones. Does anyone have any input? I have stock JOM shocks. If someone could compare those to Bilstein Sports, then I know the Camaro shocks should compress about 30-40mm more. Any experience with these shocks is appreciated...i'm not gonna get the KYB adjustable ones because it's just not worth it to me. The two I mentioned are $25 each on blunttech.

Sinan?

Sinan?

Not funn eh.

So I was right today that I felt my exhaust was lower and scraping over things it normally doesn't. No clue why the hell it's hanging this low, but I'll take a look later tonight when it's less burning hot. I also hit the brakes so hard today that my grills went for a toss. I picked them up though and they actually look to be in great condition for sliding across a road from maybe 40 mph.

[spike68]

I wouldnt even bother trying to fix it back to the way it was made. Seriously, just get a metal bar welded to it. I promise it wont come loose.

weld the grills on too ;)

No the clamp is actually holding fine. That's the first thing I checked and it doesn't look like it's moved. I'll jack up the car as soon as I finish breakfast and take a look at it.
