looks great.

is the car lower than usual, or have bigger wheels than normal, or am i just seeing things weird. tires just look very close to the wheel well to me. Not a bad look, just curious.

Looks great! Not sure if you track, but if you do, you would benefit from having your front a cm lower than the back...the pic is making the front look higher than the back which absolutely causes lift...

Again, looks awesome!

Best,

Phil
