AWD sits about an inch higher that RWD.

They should be in early next week. Putting some 20" on it (i'll post pics on here once they are on). I am wondering if I NEED to shave / roll my fenders since it's not really slammed....

Thanks vellemus. Yes, like telmz1 said; unfortunately our AWD’s sit a little higher than your 430. So when we do a mild lowering job, it almost looks like a factory RWD GS.

Nice drop!

What did you use on your tails to darken?

Thanks-

Yes you will see a difference, about an inch lower.

No, the holes are still there. Can't really see them since the car is a darker color. I think I'm just gonna leave it unless there is an easy way to fill them and paint.

Thanks-
I had a tint shop in my area do the job. I believe they used tinted 3M clear bra material.



Thanks for the comments everybody . Hopefully my wheels come in soon!

The holes must be tiny, I can't make them out at all in the picture. Can you post a closeup? I'm curious how many holes there are and where they are (which badges have holes behind, do all of them or only some of them?)
