Perhaps the Audi's suspension allows for more suspension travel so the front wheel "tucks" more or maybe the fender is just thicker.

That is because on the G the A arms hit the top of the area that holds the shock tower (the frame rail?) which stops the car from lowering anymore. The only way for the front to go lower is to cut that area to allow for the A arms to prodtrude - then the last thing to stop it would be the hood.

I also could be because David hadn't set it up where when it's aired out its even lower like most of the G's are either. I had a long conversation with Natalie about that yesterday, and it was kind of the same thing that David said that maybe the bags that she has are smaller which allow her to literally lay rails on the ground, which I'm not a huge fan of. Personally I wouldn't want to go much lower than David had the Audi, even when aired out.

Gotta show brotherly love from one Lexingtonian to another. I guess I can consider myself a Lexingtonian, I've been here (for school) for 6 years now.
Haircuts are serious business, tho.

I do know that the front fender arch on the G is higher than the rear so maybe that partly contributes to the optical difference as well.

Nice! Expect a full report, specifically regarding shifting by Monday evening. I'm still leaning ECUtek which I now have to put on hold because of the other money you encouraged me to spend.
Tony I think you may have hit it on the head that may be it. There's a show on the 17th I think I'm going to go to I'll have to check it out and see if that's the case.

So I guess its about time for an update...
I got a call the day before I was suppose to have my car tuned to tell me that I needed to bring it in so they could copy my ECU and send it into UPREV and have them unlock something. Honestly I was kind of confused, but I wasn't able to make it to the appointment due to life... I still need to reschedule the appointment.
I purchased a set of Skyline illuminated kick plates and had them installed. I'm quite happy with it. I wanted a set of illuminated kick plates, but thought that the Infiniti ones were a bit played out, and then came across these.
For those who don't follow me on Instagram or saw my post in the chat thread, I purchased a new daily driver, a 2008 Ford Crown Vic police interceptor with 87,000 miles. It's been nice to drive a vehicle that I don't stress about rock chips or that I can run it through a gas station car wash, or not worry about all of the salt on the road getting my car dirty...
