ok so i haven't seen bens in person yet but i've seen it on other cars befoe like charades and there's an old lancer getting around with this style set up, and it looks baller just low on hubbys and white walls,

oh and ben for the girl factor i will have to agree with the they have no respects for car styles, aslong as they drive and are some what comfortable there happy. well most girls anyways, not being sexist just it's the truth,

i for one love this look and are actually concidering doing it my self but slamming the car
