    yes, the aftermarket Ifs and Irs make your car off topic for this place. you can see the rules for the site here:

    Yes. I was made aware as soon as folks saw the pics I shared. It’s a shame too. Those mods were done by someone else BEFORE I bought it. I can leave. Or can I stay and just not talk about it?

    sure you can stay, just don't talk about it or show photos that show the off topic parts

    I value the advice given here and you never know, I just might contribute something that others see value in. I’ve got a reputation on other forums as being helpful with accurate info.
    I’m not a seasoned hot rod builder like some on here, but I listen to advice.

    My thoughts are to do both chop and channel, but just a little of both, and not a lot of either. I'd keep the chop and channel to 2"-2.5" each so people who look at it wonder what's been done. I prefer subtle changes, not extreme. Plus a little of each wont result in height issues for passengers or driver.

    You should stay and channel that body.

    Yes I have and those folks are a helpful bunch. Since I’m undecided if I’ll go with fenders (I have a full set of fiberglass), I need to consider that if I channel the body it would affect how the fenders fit over the tires.
