Agreed. I think badging to match the wheels would have been cleaner. But still a mean looking ride.

I like that the badging is red on this car because everything else is blacked out. Normally I'm not a fan, but I think it adds just enough flair.

I like it!! Pretty tight setup.

Although maybe it was the way the picture was taken but the rear looks somewhat high?

Also the modified suspension is that the stock/oem or aftermarket?

Overall...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Regarding the badging we went back and forth on it for a while and may still change back to black. Regarding the lowering the front was done with the factory setup and the rear needed to have parts swapped out.

Best Regards,

When you say parts swapped out... you mean springs?

Correct in the rear only. Picture didn't help much but the car was on its way to Daytona so she will be back in soon to lower accordingly.

Nice. Matte is the flavor of the week, and it does look good, but the deep black gloss has that lookin like a classy yet mean sumbtich. Lets remember, Darth Vader's armor is shiny, not flat.
