Car looks great, But if you don't mind I would call your camera a pile not the car.

Yep, my iPhone has about had it. Waiting to see if they announce an iPhone 5S. Surprised that phone has lived so long, I drop it all the time lol. I was on my way to work and I didn't have my decent point and shoot with me. I'll go out and take good pics once I get it tinted.

Your car looks great. I'm in the same boat as most, the roads and the inclines are too steep to chance it. Don't forget to get an alignment after it settles.

The car looks great lowered like that. I'd lower mine... but then I couldn't even get it out of the carport afterwards.... or the driveway... or...

the new phone will help but using a quality picture app makes a huge difference.

my favorite iphone photo app for still pics is "Cortex Camera".

Well the car needs a new radiator, so that's next on the list. Called the dealership since I just barely went over my warranty from them and they're gonna try to help me out with it. If not, guess that'll be my project on Friday. Next week I'm picking up some ls6 heads w/ .650 lift springs and pushrods. Getting a good deal on them, and they literally have 20 miles on them.

Default Nice ride

My Z is lowered 3" and I do have to be very selective of where I go...it is my daily driver.

As for taking better camera phone pics go to the link below.

The decal is love it or hate it. It is literally the only large sticker I have ever liked.

Mine is pretty much that low and with my new driveway, I am tempted to leave it on the street sometimes because of the grade. I have to angle up into the driveway literally one tire at a time and I always know if one tire is low on air! But I love the way the car rides that low. Just need to get the city to change their darn approach angles!!
