I used Meguire's crystal wax #3. It took me about 6 hours.

The tint is 15% all the way around.

Rims are Konig Prophets 20 X 7.5
Tires are Nitto 555 225/35/20

The best part I've added to my car is the Escort 8500 and ZR-3 Shifter. Its an expensive A$$ Lazer Jammer but it works awesome!!!

1. You haven't read many of Killer's posts.

2. I don't think the women are that easily offended.

1. actually I have, this isn't the first time I've seen his level of maturity, just the first time I've said something.

2. you'd be surprised

It's the kind of talk I would expect from a teenager on this board, not someone 44 years old and a moderator....that's all.

I had to trim a little plastic off of the back bumper right were it meets the quarter panel, only on the drivers side. I'm not sure why the drivers side is the only one that rubbed, (with 4 people). Now there is no rubbing at all!!!

I have just comptech springs (the ride is getting to me, I need new struts)

For those that seem more interested in favorite poster. it is

Got any good ideas on a brake kit that doesn't cost $2K. Its hard for me to justify spending that much on brakes.

Do they really work that much better?

I put drilled and slotted rotors and stainless steal brake lines on front and back and didn't notice a thing!

Man that is dark tint. car is shiny. Try topping it off with a carnauba wax if that Mequiars is a silicone wax.

Poster looks like Halle Berry to me.
I agree with MikenAstn's comments, but the majority seems to see nothing wrong with offensive posts IMO. I usually just block out posts by people I don't want to read.

Very nice, rims & drop look freakin badass. One thing tho, tint your windshield. I dont understand why people tint the sides/back all dark and do nothing to the windshield. It makes the inside nearly impossible to see into, and cuts down on sun/headlight glare a TON. Mines done 50%.

Oh yeah, and hows the ride on the 20's? If I was to ever do 20's I'd go with 235/35/20's, for the extra lip protection and smaller chance of bending a wheel.

Just applied three layers of Zaino to my black CL.... Good as the Meguiars looks, I gotta tell you, the Zaino makes the black reflective like you would not believe.. my wife is now upset that I haven't done her Legend yet.

I'm trying to get some pictures to post so you can see the difference. And oh, yeah, my paint and clear coat are in terrible shape.

When I put on the comptech springs the ride got way stiffer. I notice all the bumps in the road, but when I added the 20's I didn't notice much at all.

If you put 235/35/20 on the tires will not tuck the fender so you couldn't go as low. Atleast with the 20X7.5 rims with +42 offset.



Anyone know of a tire company that makes 225/25/20 other than that nitto 555??? I hate that tire

Whats wrong with the 555's? I have them on my mustang and have been very happy with them. Not exactly the quietest tire but they will last a long time and are good in the rain, and great in the dry. The wheels that I am looking at are 20x7.5" and have a +45 offset, so I'd hope they could fit a 235 a little better.
