Maybe it's my eyes but the wheel gap is fugly. a subtle drop would be pure sexy but if course come the headaches. nonetheless, very cute.

lol thx. Did rear spacers - but having done a full drop on my last ride including rolled fenders and all the issues that follow for street driving... planning on staying as is.

Totally understood.

I think a lot of the gap problem can be a photographic issue. With the sun low and the camera angle low (skidad62's first set of photos), the wheel gap is accentuated. If the sun is higher (second set), even with a low camera angle the wheel gap is much less noticeable since the inside of the wheel wells are not illuminated.

That's not to say there isn't a taste bud issue at work as well, just pointing out that illuminated wheel wells scream while unlit wheel wells only murmur.

Well stated
