that has to be messed with.

it can be done just with slight body modification and some airbags or hydraulics. have to be careful though as cars with gfx will easily break if you height is off any when adjusting.

personally for shows i like it looking like that and then you can raise it to normal height and be on your way. just isn't practicle or cheap.

Yeah, that is definitely photoshopped. I don't like it, the rims are too big.

:lala: Thats a photoshop i made a long time ago!!!!

lankchevy_350: the tint is real its 15%

Heres a picture of my car a while ago, since then its been lowerd 2 inchs, 91-92 chrome z28 wheels (sorry Kandied91z) and a 91-92 rear bumper cover, ill trying get a pic to put up on this tread this week.

hidden: where did you get that picture from the only post i ever put it on was entitled jamex springs-
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=114254

If you go down on this post it shows the real pic and tells about the photoshoped pic. Im just curious if it is somewhere else now.

I got it off a web site where it said something: The nices lookin camaros out there. I think the link was http://www.chevyworld.net but it was a hidden link (it's not on the main page). As soon as i saw that car i said: wow. I got the pic on a google search and was on the chevyworld site. If i find the exact link i'll give it to you.
