Drop more or no?

From these pics would you say I need to drop my car a bit lower or no?

It's hard to tell with the everything being so darn dark. You can't really see the fender well gap. Looks like it is sitting low enough to me. I love those wheels! Dayem those are sweet!

Yah the pics are kinda dark, try turning up your monitors contrast and brightness and see if that helps out. Thanks for the comment on the wheels!

If you really want my opinion ? Don't do it. It looks just right. You've got a seriously good looking ride.

The skunk2s have a fairly harsh ride on the highway. I had no choice but to get the Koni struts or bounce my ***** to my neck on the highway. On any other road though the ride was fine. Feels pretty good now wih the Konis installed, not as comfortable as stock but the handling characteristics are greatly improved.

Anyone think I should go with a Carbon Fiber Hood? You can't tell from the pics but I have some light hail damage on the hood, roof, and trunk. My insurance co. is gonna give me $1400 to fix it so I got some room to work with. Thanks for all of the comments!

An OEM c.f. hood is always nice plus it's a lot lighter than stock but my .02 is if you want extra looks then go with the Kaminari c.f. ram air hood. the kaminari c.f. hood is not as light as an oem c.f. hood but it is still lighter than our stock hood and with good looks to boot

Well when the Skunks were being installed one rim fell over [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] and it put a tiny scratch in the paint but it hasn't grown any larger, the rest of the wheels so far show no sign of damage. I drive quite a bit so hopefully this is a good sign.
