I would say lower it, but you like it like that so, I would tint your windows and get some brake light and headlight blackouts. Usually I don't like cars that tell you what kind of car it is on the windshield, but I like the style of lettering and it actually looks good, perhaps the only car that I've seen like that, that I like.

SInce when did FOX have anything to do with car racing? Take that stupid ******* sticker off your car and lower it.

if you gonna have you car so high in back then atleast get some tires to fill up the wells. And Fox stickers only belong on trucks with dirt bikes in the bed.

I would say drop at least 2 inches cause for whatever reason that thing is really high, i dont think ive ever seen a thirdgen stand that tall. Then add some chrome ZR1 rims, or possibly some polished 88-90 iroc rims and you'd have yourself one fine looking car...

Or you could trade me your hood for my stock iroc hood. then my, whoops i mean your car would look totally awesome!!!
