Took a few quick shots of my Volkommen design 3d style front lip and LTMW carbon fiber splitter. Big thanks to AUTOCouture Motoring for getting me in for the install. Full shoot coming soon. Enjoy

That looks great. If I didn't already have a Hamman style lip, I would of gotten in on the group buy.

How are you driving around the Tri-State area with all the pot holes? You must be scrapping the lip from time to time?

I had the hamann lip prior to this and I think I like this one better. And driving around here this low is an acquired skill, not many can do it without destroying their car lol. All my cars have been super low so I'm pretty used to it by now.

Looks good bro! I like this setup better than the Hamman as well. It is a cleaner look.

Lol. You're a nut bro, those tires only had about 5k miles on them when you got them. You must have driven cross country 3 times in the past two months or you drive like an animal. My guess is the latter. Lol. I don't have any more tires for sale.

Lol what can I say, I like to take turns fast. All the Snow drifting I did this winter probably didn't help much either...

It's the best look you had to date...if you're going to keep the car red that'll be a game changer

Love the look. Dunno how you manage to get around in NY/NJ with that extra splitter down there. I have a piece of rubber molding under my 3D lip and I scrape that pretty often. I've been driving around with slammed cars all my life too.

Thanks man.

I think you are in better shape with coils. With my ACS springs I'm not even as low but if I hit some dips on the road it would compress down enough to scrape the lip. Can't avoid that while driving. The suspension just isn't form enough.

I use to go by "if you aren't tucking then you aren't low enough" but those days are over for me now lol

I can't wait for a big tristate meet this year!

Looking good bro, when weather clears up, I'm still down for that shoot.

I'll be down at ACM next Saturday 9:00am, maybe you could stop by?

Yea man coils are the way to go, road feel and driving comfort are better than stock IMO even as low as I am. And yea let me know when the big meet is, hopefully I'll have my new wheels by then.
