thanks....
The surround grill i had it painted by a local bodyshop for a little money. So far the paint holds up really well.

How do your Tanabe Sustec Pro 5 ride at that height? Is that full drop?

The front is on full slam but the rear is not. And at this height, i gotta set it at the hardest setting or i'll rub. However, its not that bad, i get used to it after a while and comfort is just one of the things you have to sacrifice for appearance.

In order to do this, did they remove the surround first, and then reinstall it? Did the shop do all the work for you, or did you remove the part and take it in for them to paint, then put it back on yourself?

thanks again.

I actually remove the parts myself and bring it to the bodyshop to be painted and i put it back on myself. Its not that difficult to take it out, and i think you gotta remove it because they have to sand the chrome or the paint would not stick.

Wow, great pictures. My driveway has a little bump in it where it goes over the sidewalk (maybe the roots from the tree is pushing the cement up?). . .so there's now way I can drop it unless if I park out it on the street 24/7 =(
