Something like this???

UPDATES:::

Ok so to ease the fear of donk modifications to frank i figured id do some test photos, now the car wont sit this high, the only reason i couldn't take the jack down is cause i have to have the tail pipes moved over a few inches to clear the rear wheels, which sucks cause the flow master exhaust set up is brand new...

, so needless to say it will be much lower and im going with 2 inch drop spindles in the front so the front will be even lower....

Choices for colors are either gonna be

black
white
grey/gunmetal

LAST TWO COLOR OPTIONS
same color of my 00 neon
or blood red

if anybody can photoshop some of my color options and lower the car for me that would be soooooo great.

I found a kewl body kit for it..............just kidding

That color isn't bad, but if he went with the lowrider look like that, I would drive my happy ass out there and burn it myself.

Thankfully, I think Joe would never do something like that to a poor car.

but... but.... I like lowriders.

Joe, my boy Greg at Mandrel Bending Solutions in pasadena will hook you the fuck up for an exhaust, firreal. I think you should change the exhaust to a dump setup. Do a burnout, huge clouds because the exhaust is dumped, plus, the clean clean look of the rear with no tips coming out.

Call me bro, I need to see this monster.

KrackstaR · Post by **KrackstaR** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:04 pm

yeah not to big on the low riders thing, but they are nice just not my style.

I like that candy red but it would have to be one solid color tho but that deep red looks nice. I did like the blue but i dont think it goes with my vision of the car, plus when you see the blue in person its not the same as the pictures, trust me the pictures are making the car look in better shape than its in...lol most people say the pictures do it no justice well in this case it gives it beer goggles..lol

i normally get my exaugst work done at tony's mufflers off richie in glen burnie but im willing to try new folks as long as his work is good and he is priced resonable, i got a flowmaster turbo muffler and pipe and tip for my armada and he charged me like 197. so thats freaking cheap if he is that cheap then he is my new man...lol

When are u off? matter of fact u got a pm...

I'm with you on this one... I'd much rather see a lowrider than 26"s or whatever. I just don't see how that's better.....

Interested in seeing where you take this though Joe. You have good taste in what works together

Well let me know if you need help with the new ride.

Oh my, I can't believe that someone who is putting massive rims on a car is actually upgrading the braking system. Your good people Joe.

If you need any engine info shoot me a PM, SBCs are right up my alley.
