Please post before and after pics of lowered G

I want to buy 19- or 20-inch wheels for the summer, and was wondering how the car would look w/ and w/o a drop. And if possible, can you list the tire size, wheel size, and amount of drop. Thanks.

This is on 19's with no drop... I'd like to drop an inch or so, but I have the KurumaZ front and I scrape everywhere as is, so I'll be leaving it alone for now.

looks nice the way it is...see people who drop theres and start putting cheap quality bumpers, etc...really cheapens it, imo. urs still maintains a classy look

I have 20s with my fenders rolled and i dont see any need for a drop on my car... i have 20s... 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back with spacers to clear the brembos. On the other hand, if your going 19s you will definetly need a drop especially in the front imo
