    I'd say leave it alone, don't get me wrong I like em low, but that looks really nice like it is, I'd even hesitate on the skirts too, beautiful car.

    Looks good to me the way it sits now! All the work involved in modifying the x-member for a couple more inches aint worth it.

    Looks killer as is. From what I have heard, you need to be careful messing with the X...

    Do you have skirts for it? Lakes and Skirts would really look good.

    If its that inch of air passing under the car that bothers you route the exhaust throug
    lake pipes (no dummies), but dont hack the X-member, the car is beautiful as is,
    and i dont really like 'verts.

    that's a nice looking car. being that low ads nothing to it. being an inch or 2 lower will add nothing to it. it would look just as good sitting about 4-5" higher with coils instead of bags.

    I'd put a rotating plate on the X member so when you are at a show you could spin it around. :)

    I love it as-is. Perfect!
