those are sweet videos...i would love to put bags on my car...what did they cost you?

no money = no modsno mods = no speedno speed = no ticketsno tickets = more moneymore money = more mods...
$3K installed

i had to redo most of it myself though.
its not hard to do, prolly could have saved myself about a grand if i would have done it myself.

>biggrin.gif> OUCH! that looks like it hurts....is that bad? but damn it looks so cool...

you can totally hear the body kit scraping too...ouch

the body is still about 5" off the ground.
i welded a hitch ball nut to the frame and then screwed the ball in.

the ball is the only thing touching the ground.
i can't get low enough to actually scrape the frame, the bumper and skirts would be the first to scrape.

Jared Harwell
whew...thats a relief... i couldnt hear it but it looked mighty painful...keep it sparkin sparky!

lmao..thats sick. You should do 2 balls next time. you should do it all around and rele blow ppls minds.
im getting another ball for the other side.
i get them for free, but i got the last one. gotta wait till they get more in.

Jared Harwell
lol thats awesome, prolly scares everyone pretty good
what balls make those sparks come out??? That would be gangster if i could put that on my car.
Thats awesome, all these vids are really making want bags more and more. I would spark like that when stupid people are tailgating me at night.

You said it was 3 grand for them, but I'm still confused on how they mount up. Did they just make custom brackets for them or what? Car looks awsome by the way >biggrin.gif>

$3k for the air ride.
if u mean how i mounted the ball, i just welded the nut to the inner frame on the drivers side. screwed the ball in and dragged.

Jared Harwell
OH! OH! I spot neon green winsheild washer lights!

Man Jared, thats crazy. Your car is GORGEOUS!

A Jaws4God Creation...
tats really nuts. I can't believe your really scrapping the streets clean with your car. Kinda reminds me of the goth kids in school who wear the super long baggy pants that sweeps the dirty school hallways clean >rolleyes.gif>
cool....

but all i got to say is this is the DUMBEST THING I"VE EVER SEEN POSTED WHEN YOUR TRYING TO SELL THE CAR ON THIS SITE

more like i've ever seen!...isn't the gas tank back there buddy?
umm he's dragin the front...away from the tank but regardless that still causes damages
i just wouldn't like sparks near my gas tank...
not damaging the car 1 bit.
the ball is the only thing touching. the kit is stilll about 2 inches off the ground.

people say its stupid and causes damage to my car.
does running a turbo on a non-turboed car cause damages?
running NOs on a car cause damage?
driving a car harder then its suppose to on a track?

what im doing isn't any different then the mini truckers.
is it just cause its an import and imports aren't suppose to drag?

i like to do it, its fun as hell. >biggrin.gif>

Jared Harwell
turbos and driving are worn parts....easy fix normally....

now i can tell you that goin 20 mph+ with a ball welded to your frame slamming into the ground isn't helping your frame at all or what you welded it to......lets just calculate the forces

lets say 20mph, 1000lbs (to be generously light), coefficient of friction, area of 1 sqr inch.....do the math that force on that 1 spot is very large
