I want to lower it, but I need to chill out on the mods.

I just had stage 1 done, giac flashbox, evo cold air intake and B&M short shifter.

Everytime I drop a dollar in the car, my wife doubles the spending at Louis Vuitton.

Those wheels look great!! I have the same wheels on my black turbo except with black centers. BTW, how is your front lip so large?? Mine isn't close to that big... Maybe becuase I have PCCB?

Lou,

Where did you order your wheels? I know that Peter makes maximum lip at Wheel Experts. I don't think your PCCB's are enough to make a difference.

Very sweet looking and I know how you feel on the mods budget but you have to do one more and just lower that sucker. It will look ten times better.

Do like I do:
1) Dont talk about the mods.
2) If you must talk about the mods, explain the "safety aspect" of you doing this to your car for your own good.
3) Dont talk about the mods.

BTW, Your car looks super hot with the new wheels. I agree with everybody that your car NEEDS to be lowered. Get some H&R springs in the mean time to tide you over untill you can get the PSS9's approved.
Good luck
Luis

Steve, the car looks great! I'm glad you liked my recommendation of the custom painted seal grey centers. Hope all is well, thanks again for your business.

Lou, not to worry, the lip is smaller due to PCCB. We usually go 1/2" smaller to a 1.5
