    The paint is definately a little cracked there however it was like that when I got the car, not from me baseball batting my fenders

    btw most of the car is Biscuit White spray paint, the car was in pretty horrible condition when I bought it:

    but my question is:
    can anyone provide a link to this MKIII lip mod mentioned above? i'd like to see what it looks like, as well as where to buy (if it looks good)

    Definitely agree. I was desperate for something and thought it might work for a little bit. I do plan on going with an M-front anyways.

    True. I was ignorant to this fact and bought the one you see pictured.

    Would you morons stop posting cars that are only lowered.



    If you say "my car's not slammed... meh" then don't post a picture of it.

    I'm going to assume that your not talking about me. A little over an inch of front clearance should qualify as slammed...

    that's a big lip. It makes your car seem a lot lower than what it really is. (imo it does look cool)

    Take your half foot tall lip off and see if you still have an inch of clearance...

    Not specifically, no. But I wouldn't necessary call your car "slammed", either.


    Your car is a whole lot lower than 80% of the people posting in here who go "eh its not really that low but whatever". Those are the people making a mess of the thread.

    does my beater qualify? Its a serious question. I think I am. I'm going to go with some smaller front tires (205/40 instead of the 235/45) so I can go lower in the front

    A 2 inch drop does not qualify as slammed. To me a slammed car is somewhere around 3 inches. Also adding a lip does not mean your car is lowered.

    This thread can be summed up in one line:
    Lip Low =/= Low

    Hell, my car is lower than most of the cars posted, and it's nowhere near slammed:

    In one hand, I freaking love your car.

    On the other, well, its not that low. Not a bad thing, just not very low.

    edit: this isnt a competition anyways. just because one persons car isnt as low as anothers, doesnt mean its not low. or slammed.
