I got some picture of my car to put up later on tonight. I'm waiting on my neighbors to get their ugly *** van out of my picture area. Gotta show off my chrome grill.

Lol. The Talon is lowered on H&R springs, and it is a 4X4 actually...So I guess it has an excuse. No offense taken though. I'll post a few pics in a couple minutes.

The Talon won't be done until its wearing a parachute.
With the Lexus I wanna do some 20's, lower it, respray the front bumper, tint, wings, and some cheap exhaust.

NO SLAM OR CRAZY CAMBER! I THINK ITS HIDIOUS!
I did do my first mod today though besides the stereo. I did the DIY chrome grill. It looks good. I'm pretty excited. I also found some 20" Tsw wheels on craigslist with tires for real cheap. I'll post pictures of them if I get them. You guys gotta remember I'm working on this car with money thats left over from my other car so I'm not going to go spend 2k on wheels and another $600+ on suspension.
What do stockers with tires sell for? $400 bucks with good rubber?

For sure I agree with you, but is it going to destroy the stock strut/shock like putting a lowering spring on most stock strut/shocks will do? I've been trying to figure this out and no one is giving me an answer. With dsms it is a yes it will blow them in the first 15 minutes of driving with a lowering spring on stock struts. I just asked a guy that recently lowered his car on Tein springs with stock shocks. I'm waiting on a response. By the way the front of your car looks really good. Did I offend your opinion though? It makes me think I did with your words in capital letters.

Thanks! They are EXE Konvex 20x9 and 20x10
To each their own. I am on air now. I can adjust to whatever height when I want. The general body of 2GS owners will agree that lower is better. I have the best of both worlds.
Here's another angle:
I think we all understand its ugly. I got that after the second picture. I think those pictures that Carbong posted actually may prove other wise. The last picture of the car with the body kit on it did not look good in my opinion. I think a 1.5 inch drop is where its at. Maybe the stock height one with the body kit doesn't look as bad because its lower to the ground. 2gsfowner's car looks real good, but I'm sure its on coil overs.
