We at MIB have spoken with Shane, and have had him install a few extra things that may be necessary in the furtue.

Just remember, Never push the "RED" Button.

Lookin' good. How much lower than a stock M5 will the ute be? It looks soooo low now. Fantastic, thanks for the update.

It's stunning Apples. What a great shop! This is really making me want to design a custom too, lol.

I think the ride height that we'll run with (not 100% sure but very close) will have the highest part of the rear arch about 620-640mm from the ground.
That's pretty low, but the best look I feel is to have the top of the fender arch being about the same height as the top of the tire or for more of an aggressive look, just above the top of the rim.

This is it for July as the boss is off for August....deserved.

I'll be back in OZ in Sept to get a look for myself before he starts back min to it.

The drivers side looks pretty much done, and really impressing me on the direction it's taking and the quality of the work.
