I say keep it piggie, get OEM style skirts/valances and new paint. Currently the OEM clashes terribly with the aftermarket stuff...

I to be honest, I like the current ride height. I rather be around that height with meaty tires than stretch skinny rubber on just so I can slam... But that's just me...

your car loos out of proportion with aftermarket sideskirts and rear bumper and Stock pignose front end.
looks kinda bad actually.

go aftermarket front end.
looks like crap with that aggressive of a kit with a stock front end.

i can totally see where everyone is coming from..which is why i cant decide haha...
i totally love my pignose and its not beat up or broken at all-but it just doesnt "blend"..mostly cus the rear bellbottom
..and about the ride height-its just low enough right now where my roads are still somewhat forgiving..
but there is a show coming up and with some more camber i can go at least an inch lower front and back probably..which looks cooler brooo! ha

new bumper, if youre gonna go that aggressive with the rest of the aero, do it all out. looks goofy with the stock front. pick one or the other, cause this mix and match is horrible. and unless you run ridiculous camber in the front, youre not getting another inch out of it. unless you plan on rolling with the fronts rubbing the entire time. good luck with your decisions.

it rubs as is on the fender but just barley with positive camber..itll be almost sunken in when i get it between 0 and -2

i think its low enough, if you really want it lower, get some smaller tires up front, and do the kit, having the extra 4 inches hanging down on the front will probably be enough to realize its low enough. gotta have some room for your suspension to flex.

thanks for the input, ill try to see if i can get some smaller ones put on before the show..if not ill probably just slam it more for the day of the show because i still have about 2" lower i can go in the back..if i really wanted
but ill try the full kit out for the week of the show and if i dont like it ill just buy a new set of tires
...im thinking a 40 sidewall would do me good

finally someone agrees with me.

Mixing and matching those two looks horrible.
