Not bad. Make sure you take pics with either no shade, or all shade. Its hard to take good pics in a location like you were at.

so if you park it differently, your wheel gaps look smaller or you just don't want to drop it? actually, yeah new wheels could make a difference; if you get smaller wheels, the gap won't appear as big.

actually yes. Even the slightest slopes/dips/uneven ground can change the way it looks. Right now on my driveway it looks like my right rear is slammed, while the left rear looks a little higher than stock. Front right looks like 1/2 inch gap, while left looks maybe like Tein H-Techs lol

ur kidding urself, it looks high from every angle but the small wheels on it now don't show it as bad. bigger wheels will only accentuate the gap (because the wheel edge will now look closer to the fender arch and the smaller tires will emphasize the gap even more)... it will look worse and in even more need of a drop. upsizing w/o a drop makes our cars look like monster trucks or donks.

ur talking about loading on the suspension by putting it on uneven ground... mine doesn't do that well (coilovers and full chasis bracing). if i load my suspension on a driveway, like going up or down at an angle to the street (which i have to do because of my bumper), i usually get 3 wheel action, like if my rear right wheel is elevated it will also load my front left wheel, then either my front right wheel or my rear left wheel will lift off the ground temporarily. but i digress, i'm talking about parking it on level ground... it's not like the car is always gonna b parked in ditches, dips, driveways, uneven ground etc. every time someone see it or u take a picture.

haha, what is snow? yeah we have a 4WD SUV for the mountains when we go snowboarding... my car would not make it 2 feet if there was snow... my front bumper would turn into a plow.

haha Joe we used to take the Galant to go snowboarding all the time. That was, of course, before I owned the car and thus did all the modifications :P

I refuse to drive it in the snow now haha. Mostly because I hate chains.

I drove my G in Minnesota Winter 1 year. Let's just say I purchased another vehicle and park the Galant half the year.

at least u have that option... i don't have the fender/wheel. wheel/suspension clearance for chains and i think my wheels would get scratched to hell.

skrap

I loved driving my 7G in the snow.. I felt like I had the most control out of any other vehicle ive even driven.. Then I bought my 4WD truck.. LOL but My 7G kicks it in the snow. Probibly not when its boosted though :)
