Looks s..t hot, but as i said before you need to get rid of that visor and the peashooter exhaust (the exhaust bloke in town should be able to hook you up ha ah ha ha!)

Too low???
Not sure I understand the question.
Isn't too low defined by the vehicle being unable gain forward motion?

it looks perfect. the stance is nice. as for the exhaust just cut it back near the diff then you dont see nothing. the wheels make it look tuff.

Back looks OK, front could come up half an inch if you are fussy. Are you guys allowed such tall lowering blocks? Our max is 50mm/2 inches odd

Depends on how good the rear springs are, its probably still fine as long as you don't need to do any off roading. I've always thought the utes more practical than tonners for my purposes because the tray is lower (with tailgate open), can be very handy when you're trying to get heavy stuff on and off.

Mine sits a bit lower in the rear (which is strange considering Ive got smaller lowering blocks)

Its not too low to drive around (been up and down the street, in and out of the drive) and will still tow alright I reckon!
Looks great Bazza! top work!

Front looks good maybe go a tad lower in the rear? unless you are going to be carrying heavy loads in it of course. I think the Hotwires suit it better then the other wheels too.
