Lets see some slammed V's. Here's mine!

[Stuie]

I haven't seen any daily slammed V's and want to see if they exist. Here's mine. I know its dark but finished my custom lip last night which i built from the ground up. I hated all the other ones out. Want you guys to let me know what you think?

Oh I remember that front lol. Can't seem to find your other thread. How did you do that? Looking to do the same (:

You need better lighting. Perhaps a daytime pic?

How much did you lower your v by?

I'll post some more pics during the day. I lowered it around 2.8 back and 2.5 in the front. The lip, I started off with a 2" piece of foam, shaped it and then covered it in bondo. That turned into my mold which after sanding and such laid fiberglass over that. My carbon pre-preg ended going off so I just stayed with fiberglass and after it dried painted and mounted. Its now at 2.25 on the side and just short of 3 inch in the middle. Its not a easy process and takes alot of patience especially when my epoxy I used ended up being a bad batch. I would recommend using epoxy since its a harder material than fiberglass resin.

I think your daytime pics were just fine -- I was more drawn to seeing a palm tree in Tacoma amid all those conifers!

[untouchablemc]

Just wondering... is it able to go over speed bumps or any incline?

Very nice Veloster Stuie! That drop is amazing. I recently installed Ark GT-S lowering springs yesterday, I wish it were a bit lower like yours.

[tidybowl]

Looks good!!! The front lip turned out great

[Stuie]

I know palm trees in the pine needle forest of the pac nw. Well in rich neighborhoods they can have whatever they want here i guess and i thought it fit my v style with all that played out jdm stuff here. Ended up doing some cool photo shop earlier and here is one.

For the speed bumps, pot holes, ramps,etc...... yes i have to go side ways sometimes but its alot better than my mkIV supra. Just be careful and you will be fine and if you go with a set of coilies just have yours sit up a lil in the front.

thanks it means alot. i hope its inspires some new ideas because i want to see something different than the same three body kits/ fake garage door skirt that 15 year olds boys buy for their rice burners.. Thats not saying i dont like some of these upgrades, i just want the v to be something out there different from all the same civics and other jdm that we see everyday million times a day.

[Stuie]

Those ark springs are great but with the snow here I wanted something I could adjust and in the summer slamm it out. I know a lot of people on here don't like that stuff but to each their own. I would say if u got the cash def worth buying a set of the Betamax and mike is an awesome person to by from.

Looks great.. that Turbo mouth should be something that Hyundai could do when they facelift the NA V..

As for the "stance", I would trade an inch of drop for some flushness..
