well.. that is camera magic that makes my car look so well!!!..8)  it was
soo low.. I had to stick blocks of wood under it to raise it up to a 2.5"
drop.. then the guy would not take a pic of the front fender cus it has tiny
dents from where I used pliers to pull the fender out.. and of coarse...
that is the good side.. the other side is missing the center caps that fell
off while cyn running, the front of the car has a huge scratch on the front
bumper, cracked grill, while the rear driver side bumper has a huge scratch
on it from backing into my friends scirroco..  I had him use a special lens
to make the tires look smaller so people would not think I am so crazy.. and
he took the picture at an angle so the sun would stop reflecting all the
dents..  just consider yourself lucky they did not print the shot from under
the hood!...........8)
