Did you stretch some of these photos out in the horizontal?

Your car looks extra low and slinky, almost chopped.

I mean it looks good, real good.

Maybe it's the black graphics on a white car elongating it visually?

Thank you. Yeah a the 2nd, 3rd and 5th photos are a bit wide angle but the stripe definitely adds visual length. I like how it breaks up the white when running without the rockers.

Cheers,

Not having the original rocker covers installed also makes the body look a bit shorter.

Exactly. In addition to being lowered and 7mm rear spacers def gives the car a different look.

Great looking car!

By the looks of your rear lug nuts, you don't have full thread purchase?

That could be dangerous.

Thanks and good eye! I actually just got the longer studs in the mail today and will be swapping them this weekend.

Cheers.
