I'll be the first to say I think it looks terrible. But it is your car and if you think it looks good then who cares what I think.

I think they look awsome, dont see too many birds with em. Itll look better when the car settles on em but yes droppin always makes immense amounts of improvement...as well as a car wash!

TO DO LIST:

1. Get lowering springs.
2. Get a new paint job. (Keep it yellow )
3. Powerdcoat your wheels black.
(#3 is optional, but I love the look of a yellow car with black wheels, and I'm a little bias!)
