Give it a few days and once it settles it will look even better! So far so good! Low is the way to go!

looks nasty! Im jealous. I want to lower mine but I cant afford to bottom out anymore. Id rather make it up my drive way and park in the garage then in the street. Im getting 17x9.5 Black c6 Is that going to mess up my ride height?

procamaroz28 05-02-2008 03:35 PM

looks good

BigAls87Z28 05-02-2008 08:30 PM

Awesome man! Car looks good. I like the hockey stripe on the side of these cars...really looks good.

transamkid 05-02-2008 08:42 PM

Not if you stick with a ~26" tall tire. (275/40/17)

Yeah teh hockey stripe looks good on 3rd gens. I don t like em on 4th gens. I dont think they fit the lines of the car.
