The old "parked on a pond" shot.

I got a good one of those a few years back with my Eclipse. Water was a little deeper than the blocks I took to park the car on so the tires are a bit deep in the water. A red neon sign reflected nicely on the door panels as I took the picture right after dusk.

Freedo sent me these pics a while ago as I am lowering mine. He sent me these when they were cut and put on the red car, AFAIK they are the ones on the white car now. Freedo, please correct me if I am wrong.

Im planning on having mine finished being cut/lowered before I paint her on Sunday, IF, I SAY IF ALL GOES TO PLAN. If you wait a couple of days Ill have mine done, and ill post a few pics. Im going for a slightly less slammed version than Freedo similar to what you are after.

I finally looked up the tires on mine, Looked to be a tad small... they are,1 inch smaller than stock in Diameter, car is already sitting 1/2 inch lowe. So cutting 2" from the front and 1" in the rear is going to give you a run for your money...lol

Paint is going on Sunday morning
