Well, sorry you feel that way, but right now, it's stock with wheels. Nothing really stands out about it.

Also, the pictures that are at weird angles or cut off parts of the car make it hard to even see it.

yeah, even a mild drop would set things in the right direction...its not a bad looking box at all, but its also not that 14K gold m&m in the regular m&m pack, it doesnt stand out.

definitely need to lower it. you can do it easy yourself with a jack and handtools and it's not expensive for springs either. keep at her. also, just take regular pictures. these photos are not pleasing to the eyes.

If you look at the last few pages of the background scenery thread, its been a few heavily modded cars that their owners are trying to outdue each other with garage pics, so a stock car will fall through the cracks, and you jsut have to accept the fat that its gonna happen

I did it with just hand tools. It's possible for one person to do most of it. I only needed the help of another person for 10 minutes each side of the front struts. Other than that, I do have to agree... your box is nice... but you need some mod love.

Ill post pics when I get to an interweb connection where I can has photobucket. there are a total of 14 bolts (2-14mm/4-18mm/2-17mm/6-12mm) that hold everything together. 16 if you take the brake lines off the shocks

I scared myself that i knew that...
