its 100% operational and uses the stock retaining clips from the sealed beam and the turn signal.
so what do you guys think?
tooo rice?
too altezzaISH looking?

i really dont know just "exactly" how much its dropped. im on coilovers.
Vietnastee- just a lot of hard angling, avoiding deep/steep inclines and staying out of waikiki. i do scrape once in a while, its just something that comes with territory.

bring that device out to ohio in a few months.
if you get a 180mph blowby from an all satin black 95 civic hatchback with 2 DA MORG for license plates...... that was me.

^ I remember your plate, haha! I'm not heading in that direction for awhile, though. If I am, I'm the one chugging coffee, smoking a cigarette, and bumping enka. Anyways, man, got cut off earlier BAD by this Magnum. I was on an S550's ass, not too close, but looking like we were caravaning, and dude decides to wedge in between us at 75. When he came into my lane, my bumper was at his B-pillar... Asshole already had cut a few people off getting ON to the freeway, scared an old lady by riding her ass up the on ramp, then cut off a whole mess of other cars weaving around the freeway. He tried to ram me about half a mile down the road, too. Fucking idiot. It's people like him that get themselves shot on the road.
