I hate you for your ignorance.

and lack of picture taking skill.

Regardless, car looks good, drop looks nice. wheels are alright, but 18's on bands is stupid, i hope you dont hit a pothole.

i think it gives it a cleaner look without the tints.....As for the tires, i might go lower so it's gonna have to stay.

I like everything but that sticker on the rear window, my eyes get drawn right to it, so instead of seeing a nice CL, I see a crooked sticker with a CL attached to it.

Gates - I had dropzones but i put them on my bros civic and they were horrible. so i decided to go with eibach. Cost me a little more but well worth it.
My grill is missing. I painted the car two weeks ago and The grill was part of it and they never did it. It's getting painted black. The headlights are going to get wet sanded and that's about it. I honestly would love to blackhouse them but even with the DYI thread i think i'll F*** it up somehow.
Sorry bout the sticker it's something that is required for my school. if not i get TOWED! already happened to me cost me 275.00 to get her back, and it aint happening again! thanks for the comments guys.
Oh yea moderators sorry for the extra thread if you can please put them together, if not erase the other one please thank you

yes do the blackhousing. its just bolts your taking out and if you know how to cook a turkey you can cook your headlights. its very simple to do, the hardest part is being patient and letting the headlights dry properly. btw it looks good

Blackhousing isn't hard. I did it like 2 weekends ago, and realized that I can't seal headlights for squat. That was the hardest part for me. Now I have to take everything back apart, and re-seal the driver's side. Just follow the DIY, it's cake... By the way, loving the rims, and the drop. Keep it up...

Gotcha. With the monitor I'm using I couldn't tell, just that something wasn't normal. Which Eibachs?

looks very sharp man, that's a clean one. i'm an untinted <3'er too.
I'd say new wipers (get blades), and, as suggested headlight work and desticker to round her out.

swoleCL- Yea i guess you may be right...i'm thinking of taking it off and taping it to the inside of the car all the way to the top that way it's barely visible.

Gnate- Yes indeed i DID!!!

chinoscl- I have a friend that works at a body shop and let's just say materials was the only thing that came out of my pocket.....Nice friends in high places or however you want to see it.

duluoz- Thanks Man, Blades i know i have to get, The headlights are getting wetsanded next week which i just confirmed with my friend. Will post pics when she's done.

starboy2nv & 97BlackAckCL - I was considering the idea until i went to my g/f's neighborhoos where her speed bumps are tall and long, i had her in the passenger and someone else in the rear and i could barely get over it. I think the angles that i took were bad because I tuck tire, ill try to post up new pics soon.

Thanks to all for your feedback.

Yep, that convinces me, I'm takin off the tints. I've been on the fence about it for about 3 months. Great looking car, don't see too many newer-model OZ's used.

FYI. anything more than 2 people on our dropped car is overkill.

Even 2 people can push it, at my last place when I was lowered i used to make my girl jump out in the street so I wouldn't scrape going down the driveway cuz there was a big transition bump

since i lowered my car i honestly don't abuse the V6 anymore...i drive nice and slow.....and i know what you guys mean, before i had this car i used to have an accord and it was a lot lower than this car. Alot of people couldn't believe how i drove it so low, my g/f has a condo on south beach and at the main entrance there is a hump, the first time i took it there not knowing the car got stuck and it was seesawing on the hump ! We had to get out of the car and push it over, i came to realize that i cracked my stock exhaust and had to change it. so i know what you guys mean, that's another reason why i'm still debating whether or not i should go lower.

I think the clear corners thing is played out for most cars. I like the amber much better.
