re
Blue your car looks hot. I agree I hated those chrome strips over the wheel wells. Really nice.
By the way the esplier / l tuned install was a half success. The front two finger gap, the rear tucks. My sound system doesn't weigh that much and the rear is LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW.
What scares me is that the springs havent even settled or did you break them in for me. I guess we
bother suffered from the droopy rear sindrome. If no change I may have to swop out the rear springs.

blue: Yeah, I plan on taking it over and getting the rest of the trunk matched up, itll look a lot better.
Lexis: Yeah, the two 12's definitely pound, they flex the roof when the windows are all closed
I have limo tint on the back, and back sides, 15% on the front two, and 35% on the windshield, It gets hot down here in Tejas, and I need that heat protection.
Maxi: I would suggest checking whether they put the right springs on the front and back....i know it was my system, cuz theyd raise it on the lift and the rear was higher. Thanks for the compliments btw

Re
Blue I don't know what you mean. There is no way of mistaking the front strut for the rear. The rear strut has two bolts on the side to bolt it to the frame of the car( the front don't). Also the front upper strut mount is bigger than the rear. It wouldn't have bolt in. I did the installed, and did this many times before on other cars. Unless the springs were swopt when your shop took them down, maybe not noticing the difference. I doubt it though because you sent them in one unit. Did you physically see them take the strut unit down? How you sent them to me (all put together in one unit) is how I bolted them up. Please, need info.
By the way it rides NNNNNNIIIIIIICCCCCEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! feels like stock just lower. Thanks again for all the help, Blue.

Yeah, I definitely have made some progress from when I started, looking back on how bad that chrome strip looked.... Yeah, lsportline will definitely come, its just if i can find some used body parts to lower the cost.....
Thanks for the comments, but when are you going to come out of the closet with your new baby?
