After a couple of photoshops of how i wanted it to look:

Too low!  Looks good, but function over form!


And just right for me:


This is how she turned out:





More updates in 2013  ;) :y

TBH I don't really have any issues with speed humps... Does handle ok, springs on the front need to be a slightly harder poundage but otherwise she's a-ok!  8)
