Default Decided To Drop A Finger

Well, it's been a while since i took some pix of the ride. Haven't been driving it much like i used to. I've decided to drop the car another finger gap. no more gap and a 1/4" under.

After that i decided to take a ride. upon coming back and driving up the driveway, i ripped the metal lining under the front fender right on the edge.
now, i'm afraid of driving up curbs. i don't know how you guys drive away. maybe it's my "fat set-up" Right now, it's basically like sitting on 20"

here you go for now until it's time for a face lift.

Enjoy!







here's the before drop

You car looks sick...

Your driveway doesn't even look steep at all, it's probably your fat setup...

I never get tired of seeing your car bro I had my front end to no gap until recently, but had to raise it up for that same reason...I was just scraping on everything...even driveways that werent that steep, and regardless of how angled I tried to approach it. It does look sick with no gap though!!

Looks very nice, as it always has. If I were you, which I'm not, I would raise it back up a thread or two until the rubbing isssue goes away. You don't want to do any more damage. There are other obstacles yet to be encountered, monster speed bumps, a really steep driveway, etc. Way to represent the Black Cherry GS.
