Default 1/2 Slammed eg old skool... I guess

Heres my fully slammed eg.(scroll to bottom) Still gotta do the back tomorrow lol. I would say my car is kinda old school. Primer all the way!

Tell me what you think and what about the hood, was thinkin painting something on it but idk. Or what else to do to the car. But do you think its sitting too low in the front? Haven't had a chance to drive it like it is.

sorry for the bad pics, it was raining on my lense. lol

That's not even close to being slammed dude.

You could still roll over speed bumps at that height.

LMAO. QFT.

I guess he was saying he's only 1/2 slammed because the rear suspension isn't done yet.

He better drop it at least another 1.5" in the front to even be considered slammed.

never said my car was better then yours, but if you really want to see my car then you can pm me. You already had a build thread to show progress. Should have posted in there. Don't get butt hurt.

Looks good so far, drop the back and you'll be golden. Slam it lower and you'll be in heaven.

Don't mind these other dudes

Yea, there will eventually come a time when you'll need to roll them anyways. I'm assuming you'll be pushing the rear down today, update us with some pics!

You can watch this video and learn some, regardless of it being in Japanese

I raised my car up high enough for my baseball bat to fit in, lowered it enough so I can still roll the bat along the fender. Ghetto, but works.

Be careful. I would definitely get some paint on it. I wouldnt leave it in primer. If you want the paint flat you can put a flattening agent in it.
