I was literally about to comment on how much *lower* it looks than the current gen! Looks about "right" to me height-wise, whereas stock current-gen looks as if it's on stilts. I lowered mine based on looks alone, before it became my "track car" as well as my daily.

I see it. it's almost as if the beltline is higher or the lower half of the car had been extended downwards. which might be why the front has a longer/taller face.

but the side windows and green house are definitely more squat than prev gen

It is .4 inches lower. Whether that reduction is in cabin height or ride height we don't know. Camera angle makes it impossible to tell real dimensions just from pictures.

I thought official specs were that the new one is 0.4" lower than current...

It does help yes.

Just like dark colors minimize the big black mouthguard in the current car! Which is one reason I went with candy-apple grey instead of blue...

In the USA, we'll also need to know which amber bulb to replace the clear stock one.

Really?! It must be some kind of optical illusion or something. I always thought the 1st gen looked very low and flat. Well, after you reduce the 4x4 height suspension.

The 2nd gen looks more “upscale” for sure. I can’t think of a better way to describe it. Almost Porsche like. So I think it will look awesome lowered.

I thought Japan also required amber side markers? Or is that Europe? I actually like amber turn signals and side markers.
