Many people have asked me if I lowered it...even other owners. Any idea why it looks this way?

Not sure if this is the best shot. Will take one tomorrow outside. Also debating on the Renntech mod if there are any thoughts on that.

Your rear air suspension is having some issues OR you just jacked the car up & set it back down.

When I take it in at 2000 (it has slip diff) I'll asked them to check it out.
But what do you mean by maybe I jacked the car up and set it back down?

Funny thing is is that I do want to get it lowered...

When the car is jacked the air suspension releases so when it's lowered back down it's slammed in back until you start it up and it fills up again.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Interesting. Does the front have the same amount of space between the tires and fender?
If so, maybe your car has the KW coilover kit installed as a bonus.

The suspension was "seized"
Circuit board completely fried. Part on backorder so I am driving a 300 POS.
The upside is that we are going to paint the badges and wheels matte black.
The car was undrivable and if not for this board I would have just thought that it was cool looking. I drive 3 little girls to school everyday so.....
This is how it looked right before I took it in...
