I say leave it like it is...it looks good, and I'm with Scott on that one!

"if sparks don't fly, your rides too high"

Just a funny quote I came across here long ago. I don't agree with it because from that picture it totally wouldn't be worth scraping up your beautiful body kit and paint.
+1 on your decision.

No door mouldings. I just wanted to see how it looked without, and it looks decent. But since I may respray the whole car, I will probably pick some up. There were some on ebay for $175 but now they are gone ...


Im running 235/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear Front minor stretch, rear minor stretch. wheels are 8.5 +0, and 10 +17 .

front and rear spacers. I really wanna run this spec offset on other rims. If these were specs on some legit wheels. The lippage would be nice.

I was gonna double check all four corners. dial everything in, and get an alignment. But then, I also realized the stance is gonna get lower! I have not broken in the coilovers yet. I barely drove on these since installing them. They should drop a bit more. Im just gonna wait 1-4 more weeks to see how even everything settles. From there Ill adjust then dial everything in then get a alignment.
