Default 00 ES - Quick Pictures

It's been a while since I've posted pictures of my car. My last ES was totaled out 3 years ago, and I loved the car so much I got the exact same car except in diamond white pearl. Car is tucking 1/2 inch tire up front and back. I just took some quick pictures after a wash so please be easy on the critiquing. It's really hard to tell how low the car is but in person, its definitely got the look. The subframe is about 3 inches or so from the ground

Very clean es. You should get some spacers in the rear!

Nice and clean however thats a bit too low for my taste. I like lowering cars but not tucking. To me a perfect drop is right around 2 fingers so as not to look hood, but for sure noticeable. I do like how you kept the car stock looking with nice tints. Looks real classy!! nice job!

I actually had saved up enough for wheels but my brother borrowed my car and well lets say 2 grand later, this is all i have seems like every time I have money saved up for parts, something always comes up, so I think I will leave it at this for now until I graduate. This is my daily driver (130+ miles a day)

Its already on order. Got 15mm spacers going up front and back. Already got the fronts and rears shaved.

Haha you know what you're doing. I just ordered my 20 mm's. If everything measures out the way I planned I'm going to lower even more and tuck a little.

lol. I wish JIC still made the original FLT-A1 coilovers. Those were some darn good coils. The newer FAS series just doesn't ride as well. I was very disappointed when I heard they discontinued the A1 and switched to the FAS. I really wanted to try the TAR series coils after reading lots of reviews on them but I couldn't convince myself to fork over that much money and have it end up riding like the FAS coils.
