wasn't talking about the condition of the paint or why this particular example stands out. just stating a fact that a black car doesn't photograph as well as a car with color. no.1 reason why a sollid black car will rarely ever be chosen to be shot in a magazine or picked for sponsorship and freebies.

Yeah no worries. I was gonna make another thread with all kinds of pics. Just gotta do a few more things and I'm gonna go snap some pics up on the mountain. I knew my setup would never be able to go as low as these guys and be streetable because I need suspension travel. But honestly I was able to lower it alot more than I thought I would without probs on the street. Still, nothing beats the bags if you like that look. Damn nice tucking!!

One of those high res pics is now my background. Thanks! Ok here's the big question though *drum roll* How much did everything cost you (with DIY labor)?

Cool... looking forward to seeing em. Id like to know a parts oly cost. I can DIY the rest myself. I'd love to find a local 3rdgen on bags to ride in 1st. One with just bags like this and one with strut bags like Jeffs.

Thanks for all the compliments. I am very happy with the work that I did. It turned out just the way that I wanted.

The parts cost about $1500 or so.

It is not a show car, and it is kind of dirty in the pics because I didn't have time to wash it. The owner picked it up on Saturday. The motor is stock other than that air cleaner. The interior looks pretty good. I am not a fan of the seats, but the rest of it looks good.

If any of you guys knows someone who wants his/her car bagged, let me know. I want to make this into a business, so the more cars I do, the more my name is out there. I am in the GR, MI area. Thanks,

K Im reviving this because it was a great thread, and since Ive decided to undertake this project when I redo my suspension before march I figured I could use it as one good reference for any unanswered questions (plus Id hate to bother so many people with tons of PM's). I just want to make sure, what parts of my current suspension are still used? Am I to understand that with this setup I still use my front struts? If so would a new set of bilsteins do the trick? Furthermore since it will have a wide range of motion (both high and low) does this mean that I need an adjustable panhard bar? LCA reloc brackets? I just wann know what Im gonna buy new and what I can leave. Bag experts - Thanks in advance
