Most of the time you're driving your baby on "typical" streets. You know the shit that passes for typical: Pot holes, debris, cracks in pavement, garbage, you name it.

As soon as you try to take your car up the slightest hill, you will not only scrape whats underneath, you'll wreck the front and back bumpers because they'll drag on the concrete of course. I don't know what a paint job for a car like that costs, but I'm sure its insane.

It's obvious you love your car, but really you won't be able to relax enough to enjoy it like that (at least I woudn't). If I were you, I'd take more pictures, drive it around 1 more night and show it off, and then get it raised to an inch or so below factory. Yes high speed perfect universe turns won't be quite as much fun, but the rest of your drive will be a little more fun than they are now.

STUNNING car.. congrats!!
Thank you,
Actually, I just sold the CyberAge Lambo and that car was even lower. I don't mind the scraping of the bumpers and the bottom. But this car feels like a Go Kart. It's just a fun everyday thrasher. But for long trips and take my Audi.

I was going to see if I can get it up to Willow Springs and run it on the track. I just don't trust the rims and tires that are on there. But we'll see.
