Pics after lowering

I'm currently sitting on Superlow King Springs.. Here's the difference..

Before..

After..

Doesn't look like a huge difference in those pics, but it has changed the whole look of the car..

Yeah I was thinking of doing the tip, but it's a bit ricey for me..

I've got the Chev badges on and I don't really want to convince anyone it's a V8..

I'll either get the whole zorst done or just leave it. I've had enough of the cosmetic enhancements for now.. Not that I'll ever get much go from this thing, but yeah.. Cheers.

Nos isn't there so people will think my car has NITROUS INJECTION D00D.. Those are there because they look good and protect my seats..

Chev isn't there so people will think I GOT A V8 YO.. Read my reasons for having it above and if you don't like it, look at my first pic in 2nd batch..

And the tail lights are there to look different from every other car with Monaro's and cuz I love em.. Not convince people it's a Jap car..

An exhaust tip suggests that my exhaust is something other then stock.. I'm not making a mod like that..

Hahahah woooo.. They stopped manufacturing them and I had to order the spares straight from the factory.. It's all they had left, I wasn't able to get my hands on a set of car seat covers..

I tried very hard to get em.. I got Superman mats, seat belt comforts and the wheel cover..

Go the superman.. Someone noticed the superman.. :bow:

That is very contradictory... Chev badges suggest its a Chev not a Buick...

But anyhow... I'd debadge the other badges on the boot... just leave the Chev badges if your just after looks...

I also think your mags a begging to be fully polished up chrome... the crome bling will go well with the paint !

Well, for what it's worth, when I bought the Chev badges. I had no idea about Buick/Chevy, Ecotec/LS1.. They were only purchased because they looked awesome.. No other reason..

I still love the look of the blue bowties and I don't see it as deceptive or ricey at all..

I wanna keep the rear badges because it is an Executive and it signals that it's still a 6.. The Series 2 one is neither here nor there.. It's not worth the trouble and patch IMO..

I don't like the polished chrome look.. The full on bling.. I prefer the under stated Shadow chrome myself..
