Here is a quick teaser.

Paint work, wheels, lowering and clear bra. Took some canyon photos this weekend and will post rolling shots soon!

Wow! Looks pretty awesome from that angle. Can't imagine how a 22" wheel would fit in that wheel well. I've slapped 20's on mine and feel like they look pretty massive as is.

But I gotta tell ya - that baby looks pretty low - like she's kissing some rubber. I wonder if she's going to get some friction if she goes over a decent size bump or hilly terrain.

Can't wait to see more shots.

It's probably lowered via ELM so it shouldn't be too much of a worry with daily cruising. What color is that? Looks like designo Graphite.
