Lowered or slammed?

Not sure but I just got it back and snapped a couple pics. It looks and rides great!

Secret code haha

Start with a yellow blend then 3 coats pearl yellow and one pearl gold and top it off with some clear.
The flash on the camera does not make the color look true.

That is an crazy yellow. Is the flash washing it out a bit?

Do you find the ride a bit harsh at that height? When we were lowering mine, I couldn't take the ride at that height.... but just a bit higher made a world of difference on the 55.

Dino

Since our other 2 cars are a g500 and a Gallardo and this car usually transports me a whopping 3/4 mile each way to work and back I haven't found it harsh yet..... It's the smoothest riding of the 3. It hasn't rubbed yet either.


The flash totally washes out the color. Did you see my other thread? Still not quite how it loooks in person.
