it's not lowered, that's just the weight of all the bondo.

Hah. I had a '72 Cadillac Sedan Deville one summer. We had to pop the trunk lock with a screwdriver (it was harder than you think and made a big mess) after I locked the keys in. I was doing some project for my dad around the house to earn spending money for the summer, and I went to Home Depot (I think? Might have been a different store back then, maybe HQ?) and loaded up the trunk with bags of unmixed cement. The back bumper was scraping the ground over bumps. Looked kinda like that. Yup, I got pulled over.

Technically, besides going over weight I wasn't doing anything wrong, but the cop was probably right to pull us over. After a thorough inspection of the vehicle, he let us carry on. He was intrigued by the screwdriver trunk release and missing lock, but wanted to see what we were carrying. (didn't believe a 17 year old kid driving a beat up cadillac dragging on the ground? What?)

gotta be a work in progress right, custom widebody on the rear and nothing on the front, slammed in the rear and only moderately low in the front. Interesting. Kinda want to see what they plan to do with the whole car

My car looked like this after I did had a suspension swap.

The back was on lowering springs, and had broken shocks, and the front was on a new OEM suspension. The differential between back and front was about two inches.

Fun to drive around like that, but not all that safe so I only had it for one day until I could do the backs as well.

You can see it in the background here.

I once transported 5 full kegs in my '97 Jetta, it looked almost like this, the suspension bottomed out quite a bit on the short ride back to the party location.

2 Kegs in the trunk, two in the back seat and one in the passenger seat :D We ended up going back for two more that night and by "we" I mean someone that was sober.

no I don't think so, it's just NZDM. Believe me, there's some worst ones around which are 'show' cars. That said, stance is already very welcome here in my world. It's a billion times better even though I don't like it that much.

That's what I think. When I was half through my suspension swap (unlowering though) my car looked similar. About a 2 inch rake downwards in the rear.
