Looks nice both ways. you don't seem to have a lot of fender gap, so it's all your choice. Some ppl like the high look, none lowered, 20+ size wheels... some like the low look,,, lowered on 19s and under wheels... I happen to like the low.
i have enough trouble getting my low profile floor jack under the rear differential as it is.....at a stock height. How in the hell are people lifting their cars for maintenance after lowering them?? Lifts?? I DIY all maintenance so a lift is not an option for me. I like the looks...but don't need the extra headaches that it can potentially cause.
Those are nice wheels. Your gap is not too bad. It actually looks decent. Lower always looks better, but it depends on if you want to deal with the additional headaches, firmer ride, camber, etc.
I never had a problem when I was lowered on OEM wheels and after-market 19's.
My 2 issues were basically the Tanabe Mid Pipes scraping on bumps and the front lip.
I decided to just leave the suspension alone. Lowered would look great,but scraping the underside to hell just wouldn’t be worth it. I was low in my Supra,but my 350 looks good the way it is!
Hey thanks

I diddnt want to go full body kit,just something to accent

The 2x4 method .. Drive up on some 2x4s, depending on how lower you are, might need more than one to make a step higher then voila. you can fit the jack under the car. Used to always carry some in the trunk. Now living the 4x4 life and it is much less of a hassle LOL.

Our GS definitely looks like a 4x4.
On another note, do you have any more pictures of that lip? How's the fitment?
I’d love to see a picture of a lowered car that’s parallel parked with passenger doors opened.
Definitely not hating here because every car I’ve owned that wasn’t a 4wd was lowered as low as I could get it.
Love the feel. The look, yada, yada...
What ruined it for me was the first day I parallel parked the car, walked around to the passenger side and held the door open for my wife to get out. JC! I had maybe at most 1” till the door scraped the curb on flat level ground. It is stock height. As much as I’d love to lower it I just can’t damage the car doors just for stance. If it were on just a slight grade i’d have scraped the hell out of the door.
I’m enjoying the 460 even though it’s got gap is overall better than dragging my doors on the sidewalk, I still love the ride
All the brothers rollin’ on lowered rides; I salute you. Enjoy the ride. My heart is with you but my ADD self says it will cause me even more frustrations about trying find any parking spots I already have with a nice ride. My freinds and family already pitches a major fit about how long and where I end up parking them

drive up on wood blocks, then lift the car.
For the guys that go dumb low. get a spacer to lift your engine and tranny so you dont blow your oil pan when you hit a dip. I remade the front undershield with a piece of sheet metal as the plastic one was destroyed after hitting a pothole.
