Quote: That looks awesome Kenny. You've only had the car for a week or two now??? and so many mods already...

I am just curious...how do you drive that car around or your altima in the city? I can barely avoid potholes and I am only on z springs. Your car is like sitting the ground. Do you drive like drive super slow in the city?
basically all my cars i've had were modified and slammed so you'll get used to it. i one time made everyone back up so i can angle my car out of the NYDMV at whitestone -- mikeee you know about that place too with the huge sloping driveway.

no scraping or issues at all even on speed bumps. it's a big practice of angling and watching out for potholes. i might take the car onto auto-x or drifting once it's fully broken in and i get the right tires.

Oh the whitestone place...I've been to that dmv but I don't recall the driveway since my cars go by it with no issues.

But what about just driving? Sometimes there are bumps and potholes that you just don't see until it's too late. Unless you are driving like super super slow, it's hard to imagine you can avoid all of them especially in the dark.

the 350z drop is very modest. I sometimes think its not low enough.

that lot was super ultra ridiculously dark and I only had my kit lens shooting at ISO 1600. those photos have not even been adjusted for brightness (iam lazy)

but than again, my style was always very dark

no when you drive on most of the highways you know where the bumps and potholes are. i wish the G was a little lower but at least the oil pan isn't too low for me to worry about


neal fixed this picture so it looks very clear

some day shots with my new t-mobile MDA phone. 1.3 megapixels so bare with the distortion

nice drop. would look a lot cleaner without the front lip. i think im in the minority with that opinion though.

i like the lip b/c it's simple but gives it a more aggressive look. if you saw my altima w/ a full kit i grew out of the fully modded car scene. time to start hooking up a new house

JWT should be at my house by the time I get off work so it'll be in.

I guess I was hoping the sedans lip would be as clean as the coupes. The sedan lip gives a big underbite look.

i love the lip.. but again.. scraping is an issue; big speed bumps and dips where i live.. i have splash guards (front n' rear) and the front sometimes scratch all the time some places i go regardless.. is there anything that can make this any better.. some sort of tape to put under the lip?
