This is a good thread. Don't ruin it by going out of your way to take shots at other people's cars.

Yep not every one wants to lower their car--- I do and I drive it aggressively with zero issues with the MSS HAS system. The springs have not collapsed, this isnt an airmatic car

I wanted the stance, tested the drive to my needs, and it works and there are probably way way way more owners that will not lower their car but its what I did:

Vic, your car looks Boss!! I could not roll like that here in PA. Roads suck!! What do you use on your tire sidewalls? Perfect deep black without over shine.

Not gonna lie...there's a blue one around me and I stop what I'm doing every time it takes off from the corner. Haha. Just no cure for displacement in exhaust sound.

Also, the black on black matte racing stripes actually look really good there.

Oh yes it’s a good one… GT350. 526 hp, flat plane crankshaft, and a 8250rpm redline. It’s what I had before my G80.

@the stig, Sincerely such a treat getting to meet and hang out with you and corbs09

Already looking forward to getting together and doing some front lip surgery on those stands of yours. Let's do it again soon! Next time let's do HG supply at HH next time and grab a drinky. Best 6 dollar old fashioned in town.

Thank you. The picture shows it true to life from what I can see. It's very bright, like an emrald teal at times. Hard to describe the color but it's unmistakable in person.

Front splitter is the OEM M Performance one
