I haven't really taken any decent pictures of my car since the drop. The car was absolutely filthy so I threw some water on her and snapped a few quick pics before the sun went down.

weirdly enough, I just cant become a fan of that exhaust setup, it seems like the tips point down and look out of place...

but I love the stance, if it had bigger wheels I would be all over your car.

Thanks guys! Yea the exhaust is definitely on the chopping block. I can't decide what I want for it though.

Funny enough, I'm home for a week and looked at the S70 the entire time I was washing my car. :lol: :(

You should probably recess the exhaust into the bumper trim a little bit...can somebody pchop that? Methinks it'd looks uber sooksie.

Hmm I'm glad you said that! I might do it while I'm here just to see what it looks like ;)

Now if I can only get my jack under the car...

worst case i use the stock jack to get it up in the air, then lift it off of that onto my low pro jack, then when i set it down I set it all the way down on the jack, then lift it back up a tiny bit with the stock one, then take out my low pro jack and let it down on the factory jack.

it sounds complicated but once you've done it enough its pretty routine, and it's totally worth the agony to have your car that low.

Why would you pay $70+ for that when you can drive up on a 2X4? Lol.


Getting on topic, your car looks amazing.
Honestly, If you just spaced the wheels out maybe 10 or 15mm all the way around, it would look UUHMAZING!
Unless you want to tuck, then forget what I just said.
