The love of my life [pics]

Finally decided to wash my baby and take some pics of her new drop.

Don't really know why photobucket resized some pics and not others, sorry.











Check out that Sexy ass!


Short shifter





So overall I am very happy with the drop. Of course I wish it were lower but it now looks sportier but still had functionality.


Props to Shiney for hooking me up with the springs.

it's a prokit, so like 1.5". I bought them off shiney, so i'm not sure if I should expect it to settle more or not. It's about a 2.5 finger gap.

They might set a little more. I bought my neuspeeds new and they set like 1/4 of an inch after a while.

Yea, kind of. Today was my first wash in a long while and it was pretty half assed. I just wanted it to look half way decent for the pics. I'm gonna give it a nice spring wash and was real soon.

tafetta white = but that beige interior has always been questionable to me, frost white with grey leather look amazing. you should defenitly consider de-badging. beautiful car though.

its fine, nothing will happen to it. the glue will still be there so the paint will be fine, do it in warmer weather though, i did it in the middle of the summer when i bought the car and i slowly pulled it off with out dental floss or any of that other BS.

When I debadged mine I did the heat gun and dental floss deal. worked pretty slick. Had to use a tiny bit of goo gone to get rid of all the glue, followed by a good wash and waxin

I am even more in love with my car now. I catch myself checking it out soo much now. Like whenever I park it I'll walk away backwards for a while just to stare at it.

Mine wasn't at all, and black would be the worst you'd think. I had a lot of shadowing, but after a wax and buff, no more shadows AT ALL
