What else is there to do at 7am on a Saturday morning but wash your car and take some photos?

Looks great! Beautiful background too.

Question: after installing spacers, do you notice more rocks chipping the sides of your car?

Haven't noticed anything like that, but it's pretty early, hopefully won't be a problem.

What I am curious about is how it affects drag/MPG/wind noise.

This is my favorite shot. It looks like the car is moving around the corner. Nice and clean!

Do you notice any difference in the handling of your car after you added the spacers? Also is your car lowered? Looks great.

Havn't really noticed any difference in handling, in theory I guess there should be a difference since the rear track was widened by 1" and the front by about 1.25". I honestly haven't really pushed it through any turns though before or after.

What I think I notice though, and it could just be in my head, but the steering seems to feel heavier and slower...could that be?

Car is stock suspension, only mods are spacers and tint.

That would make sense with the wider track. Enjoy your beautiful car.
