THANKS GUYS!
next step is to get my headlights blacked out, and drop the rear just a tad bit more..
working on getting a camber kit for the rear as well.

Since you are going lower, if you only want to go 1/4'' lower you can always remove one of the collar rings. This won't mess anything up since its not needed when you max out the suspension. just my $0.02.
other than that the car looks great.

^ DJ i tried the removing the collar method and my car got real bouncy in the front over bumps in the road. Not sure if its because i have sh-awd and my car is a bit heavier than your FWD but it didn't work for me.
Loved going with the shorter springs...it rides smooth plus now i can put fender to rim if i wanted.
Pots, where you can see those holes inside the ATLP tips spraying some heat resistant black paint inside that area will make it dark and look better. Just a tip!!! BTW your car is looking good.

yea i was planning to do that high heat temp thing. it was on my to-do list.
fyah i am also taking your advice on the springs, im going to get those springs on your progress thread post #722 i believe.
but one question.. anyone thought about extending the top hats so you can get more of a suspension travel? i believe you only have to use the stock top hats and weld like extra 1-2 inches on it.

Personally, i didn't see the need for extending the top hats. There's more than enough suspension travel even with the shorter springs and the car does not bottom out so there's no need to mess with the top hats. additionally, if you want a stiffer or softer ride feel make adjustments from the EDFC or manually.

nope, i like to keep it classy, painting chrome moldings make it look rice... thats just IMHO..
if i had a white car, then that is a different story.
the chrome makes it "POP" out

May end up having a similar effect with all the black (i have my beak CBP colormatched as well) without having to swap grill parts.
