    Yes, this is my car. I have a few more things to do before it gets another full detail again (A few magazine photoshoots coming up). As of right now it has about four coats of FK 1000p, and the flake pop in the sun light is just awesome.















    An "in the sun" pic (see how great the 1000p looks?):







    Oh yeah, here are the hydraulics (will have a little more work done in here as well):







    Hope you guys like seeing something a little different!

    That`s actually pretty nice. Still got some room in the trunk as well, even with the setup.

    Looks good.



    Slightly surprised you went with hydraulics instead of airbags.

    You can go lower than that! Just mount the wheels ON TOP of the vehicle and bury the frame UNDER the ground!!!

    Interesting you say that. It`s just so cliché for me to have air bags. Hydraulics are much more complex, but with its complexity comes a much greater reward. You get a better ride, higher lift, and more puzzled faces when people see the setup. It`s very simple to understand how air bags work; it is just the opposite with hydraulics.

    I`m usually not a fan of hydraulics (more into race setupds) but you did it very well! IF it was raised up just to match the wheel well with the outside of the tire that would look really hot IMO. Car looks really really clean too! Great job.

    YUP.

    Also to me hydraulics have that "old skool" feel as well and when put together properly and securely in a clean VIP it`s just so much better..



    let me know if you ever want to sell it.
