hey, Id take a pic only problem is my car is on blocks, im installing alot of parts and dont have many of the body panels on it eather, I can tell you that the skunk 2's with tokico shocks make it look alot better,

the gap in the front feder and tire that you can fit 4 fingers in, you can only fit maybe 1 and a half possibly 2.....you wont notice a major diffrence in looks, its more handling tho!!!!!

just put em on youll love em, just takes a while to get used to the new way it rides, youll see

It actually helps alot. That is the color and body style my car is just with larger wheels. Thank you very much.

Just so you know, that much of a drop will cause your camber to go very negative in the rear. Do a search for the DIY rear camber mod. I went with 5 washers and I still have a tiny bit of negative, but it's much improved now and feels much better. The fronts were workable, but the rears will be the most out of spec, so I'd strongly advice you do this before taking it in for alignment after your drop. Also, it needed substantial drop on the rear coilovers to get it where I wanted it. Be patient and keep adjusting equally on both sides until you get what you want. I would also strongly recommend a good pair of adjustable shocks with a drop like this to avoid a bouncy ride quality (unless you like that sort of thing, that is).

Enjoy and I'm glad the pictures helped.
