I guess im the only person that thinks this look terrible. I like the paint, very clean, but the wheels are hideous, and the whole stretched tire thing is just retarded imo.

I agree with you.
Late 90's and early 2000's Huge catfish fibreglass bodykits.
late 2000's and early 2010's slammed with wide wheels and stretched tires.

There, i look "modded" yo.

To the OP. fix the suspension, and tires and you might have something there. Til then it's a bandwagon jumper of a car.

@taryon - It is the SL2 kit front side and rear

@jomamahama - Been contemplating polishing everything but it is still up in the air as to what i want to do..

soooo... for all the people that hate the "stretch" oh well... and once again.. its on bags. so i can actually drive it normally if need be. there is nothing "wrong" with the suspension

in terms of the intercooler / fake turbo... dunno if trolling...

Beautiful car and color. Personally, I'd scrap the bags for some coils, though.

@k51 - No worries... the car is mainly a show car. It is driven around here and there but since this is california, the car attracts too much negative attention from the police. The car is on air suspension and is raised for daily driving duties. The ammount of negative camber is there due to fact taht when you lower the vehicle the suspension geometry changes. At ride height the camber is not THAT bad.. Hope I answered some of your questions.

The fenders literally resting on the edge of the rims... makes me nervous even when the car is just sitting still

I think it looks great, just not a fan of the wheels and you need to get yourself some 06+ headlights with maybe a accent inside of them of your body paint color...though I am a picky b*tch when it comes to wheels. Noticed that outter pillar stitching is just a clipped on accessory? I dont see it in your gas station pic.

Such a relief to see an unmolested fender. Most people that do this stance bend and pull the fenders out to get further offset and it ruins the car.

I dont think he answered ya but Im sure hes bagged/ air suspension so he can lift and drop whenever he chooses. I garuntee you that car doesnt get driven very fast though, the stance hes driving on makes it very obvious.
