thanks for compliments! it'll be a while before i replace the exhaust. i've spent too much on my car recently as it is. and i'm not lowering it anymore, houston streets suck balls.
anyone have any SSM license plate plugs? i would like to lose the front plate.

We left the rear height where it was since we did'nt want to completely hide the exhaust. ANd besides it gives the CL a sort of sports car look with the rear just a bit higher than the sides. I think the front wheel gap is good, but the rear gap is bigger, what kind of springs? load up the trunk with a cynderblock or something to see what it will look like, lol.
Sucks that they drilled your bumper, plugs can probably be fabricated easy with aluminum or something.

Is it the old comptech springs? If im not mistaken the new comptech's are the same as eibach prokit which is what i have on my car and mine is lowered more than yours.
Sorry to hear about your holes, Im glad mine is mounted from the bottom but our plastic license plate thingy scratches the hell out of our bumpers

Yea, I hate having to have the front plate on, riuns the front of the car.
Why wasn't a kit piece made for the doors. In pix it just looks wrong, like a tack on, with the pieces before and after the door. I'm not a kit pro, and most people seem to think it looks right. I guess I'm not a kit type.

You'll probably have damage. I did. First thing I do with any car I get is take the front plate off! I give a damn if I get a ticket or not. Fortunately my Stealth lived its entire life in Florida where they have no front plates. It will never have one either!
Incidentally, I think it sort of depends on where you are and how much of a hard ass the cops are. I've not been pulled over once in Houston. Have a friend who lives in Fort Bend area and has been pulled over twice and received a ticket for it.
