Default Is this frowned upon?

Found this on the net, this is hot to me........but impossible according to what ive read due to a cover under the car that can be ripped off/damaged if the car is to low.

Anything done to excess will obviously be...excessive.

it's low, but not too low for cruising, but it is impossible because of the tire clearance, rolled fenders or not. It could work, but the suspension would have to be 'frozen' for travel so much, the car would shake itself apart.
It is photoshopped though, looks like 16" rotors?.

The problem isn't that the car is too low, but that the roads are too high.

If I had an endless pit of money,
My car would look a lot closer to that picture, and I know the shop 5 hours from here that could make it happen.
But it would be pricey

take a look at the pictures. he said 2 months to take my car apart, paint it and reassemble

There can only be one perfect car so why bother/spend $$$ trying to improve? The GTS with a set of 18 inch wheels is cosmetically definitive- the only things it really needs is more torque [because it can handle it] or a 6 speed double clutch box [assuming you have an auto to start with] and preferably both.

There are cars today that arguably equal the 928 cosmetically -but beat it?- not in my opinion but I'm biased.

RKD- stop tweaking the contrast/colour saturation settings in photoshop- the original is nice enough and grass is not that green [what a giveaway] - nice visual impact though!

Regards

Fred
