    I instantly noticed the marker lights front and back are shaved :thumbs2: . I love the stance so I'd like to know what's been done to get it this low ? i.e is the front & rear a stock suspension or aftermarket ? I also love this color so what is it exactly ? Doesn't look stock .... maybe some shade of sage green ? Any info or anybody who will point me in the direction to find out about it I would greatly appreciate it !!! I'd love to do mine similar with these 2 things as a starting point but different and unique paint scheme using this shade of green (y)

    Hell Yeah !!! :redface: I mean there are tons of them here from stock restored to heavily modified to the limits of someone's budget, imaginations and creativity but I have admired this car for it's color and slammed almost 100% stock look. I never find any info about it other than pics and other people commenting on it though :(

    I don't know who owns it but I've seen it while searching the web many times. Whenever you see car that low.. it's always going to be bagged. Otherwise it would be completely undrivable. Would have to have super stiff springs just to avoid bottoming out completely during spring compression and never be able to navigate any driveways. Plus you'd never even get it up onto a trailer either.

    Lots of guys dream of that look for their cars(count me in too!).. but at that level of stance?.. you're 100% show only.

    You're absolutely right !!! I can tell from the 2nd pic that A. the front tire is cambered in at the top ( know this from s10 days when air bagging them too) and B. the rear tire looks as if though the rim is against the fender lip in this pic. I would like to get close to this as possible but on a stock suspension. I know realistically the ride will suck if I could and it's probably not likely to happen no where near that low without big money and big mods

    :rofl2:I don't want to know that bad hahaha. i'll call it a shade of sage green, an air bag suspension system I can't afford, a car I don't want to hack to pieces and a caviar dream of owning 1 that I could build with budget of limitless funds

    It's attainable with stock suspension pieces. There is a guy locally that bagged his using only the main leaf in the rear and it sits like that when parked. Not sure what he did to control axle wrap though, never asked him.:huh:

    Nah, from what I've seen of it there's no doubt a lot of hard work went into it!

    He getting ready to drive it from 2 states away for the Columbus Goodguys show this coming weekend. I've never personally seen the car but I will this Thursday when he comes by on the way to Columbus and then again at the show.

    It's a nice color. Looks like it's on air-ride.
    What is it with all these Mavericks with silver-gray headlight bezels?? They don't go with anything else on the car.
    :huh:

    Does it possibly look like 1 of these setups ? Anyone ???

    Paul Masson & Tannersg1 could either of you guys put me in touch with him or get me the paint color info and if it's not asking too much from either of you some pics of the suspension PLEASE ???

    Other than the ridetech setup I don't see anything else related to air ride systems other than those for the Mustangs which have to be modded or cutting the car up pretty hardcore. I CAN'T cut the car up drastically :162: promised Dad when he gave it to me. This car looks bone stock .... other than the shaved side lights and of course that Sexy Stance.

    Thanks for so far you 2 for the information .... at least someone knows this guy & some info on this car (y)
