Car was in the shop for another 3 weeks ( lag much?) Just to get stuff touched up, emblem holes filled, bumpers repainted, molded side mirrors

Only new thing is I added a roof visor

Here's my current ride height on coils, shot of front lip:




effin sucks in LA..

that's 2.5-3''




I like the colors.. sue me I suck at pictures/editing.



Pics of my misted black CF trunk/spoiler. It's very subtle but I love it, looks so nice and glossy as well

That's it for now.. still have much to do. Spring break is coming up in two weeks, plans are for break:

-install air suspension (been lagging on this)
-clean/take apart headlights, put in new HIDS
-finish installing black interior

nice roof spoiler! I have the same one. Its getting color matched. I like you cf trunk and spoiler also, the black pulls it off well.

How do you drive that low? Scrape often???? Or any? I get my car back this sunday hopefully, and Im stressing over if im gonna scrape the freshly painted unside of my skirts and bumper. So the bottom of your front bumper from the ground is 3 inches? Im at around 4.5 and I got one driveway I have to take all the time giving me trouble at that height.

I like having black, don't need to match


Yep 3'' in the front end. it suckssss, I have to go very slow on driveways. I don't mind scraping, I've learned how to drive like this. The driveway to my apartment and house back home are pretty steep so it sucks.. I always 3 wheel it. After I took the car back this time, they fixed the lip to sit lower so I already scraped it since yesterday. My plan is to just get my air back on asap and then get the front redone. 4.5"?? that's plenty of height my exhaust pipes sit lower than my front end !

Yeah 4.5, but it looks . I only have it like that to test the waters first. Then after getting use to it with the kit, ill go 3 inches .

If I can get the coin to get a air cup kit already, things would be cake.
