not necessarily. you can roll fenders if you really want to do some mods have some fabricated or the body stretched. but thats if you know how. some local kid in my city brought a car to my buddy to stretch the body of a bagged g35 on top of a fresh paint job.
im not really familiar with slamming cars so jsut hoping to get some insight on what i would have to do? not really into rolling fenders. that sucks

Well generally rolling fenders is something people do when going for that look. Look into the 'stance ir gtfo' thread maybe

That white sedan is amazing.....makes me want to go lower. I still can't figure out what's making the noise in my car. I may go to Coilovers next Spring. I like that low look. Not a slammed fan but, to each his own!

I thought he had GRs in the front and modified Civic coilovers to bolt up in the rear. Pretty neat, he did all the work himself so it's a good show of work and dedication, which is what we need in the Cobalt community.. haha He has a few pictures if you dig through the internet. "Slow and Slutty" Cobalt. Guy thinks he's a legend. lol

If we're going body height to curb ratio then the 12 inch curbs around my house make my car look slammed as ****.

Then you run into the problem where you have a lot of wheel gap which is equally as annoying so you're taking 2 steps forward, 1 step back. The only solution is modify the coilovers and then going a smaller sidewall. No way around it really. :|
