From the pic of the gold 380, I never realised how dramatically the sill line slopes upwards to the back of the car. Possibly enhanced by the lowering but still.

That actually looks pretty good. Still wouldnt like the front though. Possibly they are ROH company cars?

I was following a white base model for a while the other day and eventually ended up in front of it. Whilst the rear is ok, the front headlights/end are awful. Maybe it was the white which made it easier to see all the surfaces and angles, but it definately needs slimmer and wider front head lights. But other another note, anybody notice how wide these puppies are. The one I was following was almost as wide as a lane and the driver seemed to keep correcting when going around bends as to avoid hitting the median strip.

im opposite to ya on that one, i think the back is horrid while the front is beautiful.

and yeah Ol' Fart, they do look small, funny how times have changed from about 20 years ago when my mates dad put some fully sick 16" rims on his 280, cost him over $3000, now for $3000 today you can get 20" rims....which in some cases are still to small!

That looks good. I was going to say with the first post, that pedders need to drop it another 3 inches at the rear. Still way too high. ;)

every one says "ewww" about the back of them.. trust me it will grow on you all.. i wash about 5 of these a day, the boss has a GT the other has the VRX.. and i personally hated them when i saw it for the very first time.. now i love them.. especially the GT in the metallic red:drool:

i also reckon that the rearward sloping window line looks cool.. Mitsubishi reckons it makes it look sportier and more like a coupe.. and it does..

as for ride height, yeah stock can look a little too high and the stock rims a little too small.. but it doesnt looks as bad in real life as a posed photos..

but yeah, they certainly do/would look better lowered.. as would any car

The front of the VRX and GT's are ok, expecially in darker colours with the tinted headlights. The rear looks great with the lip on the trunk.

However the front of the base models screams 'bland'.
