Default 3M Roof & Drop on Tanabe's

I always wanted to go with a black a roof so I went to visit the guys from Alhambra in C.A. and decided to cover my roof with 3M Vinyl, something different. There show car in the shop was cover with carbon fiber and plain black material and I taught it was a mod I wanted. At the same time I decided to go with springs at the moment and went for Tanabe's Df210 and gave me the drop i was looking for and good quality work(I really recommend them)..

Pics dont show a good view of the roof but i will post more as soon as i can.
So heres MY TRUCK back in the day
and now my new ride.

Wow! Such a significant improvement in appearance with that drop. The vinyl roof blends in nicely with the tinted windows.

I like it. I'm still debating if I should go with the 3M Carbon Fiber vinyl or not.

PS. I'm guessing they just polished your headlights too?

I was undecided too but I decided to go plain since I wasn't planning to go carbon fiber on other parts. Don't take me wrong carbon is sick too.
Yeah they polished them and made a big difference. They took care of my whole ride.

Hey did ur drop come out even on all sides? I remember my tein s techs weren't and the rear passenger side was a lil higher.

I just had peter over at the car shop do the amber removal in my headlights and tail lights on my 98GS but gota go back in bc some of the lights have water leaks/condensation getn inside.
