Too blingish.

To me, the fact that you have a roofrack and bra do not go with the wheels.

I'm not the bigggest fan of chrome, given that they'll tarnish on you eventually, but they work well with the car.

Yes, drop it 2" plz.

I think it looks very nice.

And I'm not a fan of lowered cars, so keep it right where it is. ;)

Looks nice without the drop. Your backbone will thank you if you don't drop it.

FYI, the drop doesn't make the ride rougher. It's the stock shocks that do.
Drop it an inch and a half and swap out the shocks for some softer ones.
BTW, sweeet wheels Bro. I can't wait to get some chrome ones also. Very elegant

That is true after I put new shorter shocks and stuts, my car rides better than stock with a 4 inch drop thanx to jethro and his help.

What shocks did you put in? Did it affect the handling? Curious.

Love the chromies! The box can handle it! Too bling?? Too bling?? No way.

I didn't want a deep drop when I put 17" CHROME Sendel S15 (with 205/40/17 Falkens) on my box, but wanted less wheelwell showing. I installed Tein H tech + monroe sensitracks. Got about 1.5" drop in front, 1.25" in back. The ride is now softer ride than stock.

My teeth don't chatter at all on the bumpy roads! My ride actually improved over the wider sidewall stock tires with stock suspension.

If you swap springs be sure to change over the suspension. I love the monroes, but hear good things about Koni too.

What's up with the wiper? It looks like one is up, one is down?
