The drop is mild D-boy but at least the 4x4 look is gone. It looks good on CT springs.

thanks. Yeah, it's not a huge drop, but even so, I've already scratched the shit out of my front bumper too many times.

Hell... I scratched the shit out of my bumber many times too and mine isnt even dropped. The noses of our cars are just really long.
I'm really gonna have to watch out more after I install springs.

Tein drop with a few bags of clothes in the rear for that added hooptie look. Since then I've raised it up to deal with crappy roads.

Did you consider using 3M clear tape? It may help?

That was one of the best investments that I made for the car. It prevented so many chips during the two cross-country drives.

I think it was around $600 to do the whole bumper, the side-view mirrors, a strip along the door edge, the door handle interior area, and about 1.5' up the hood.

Wax the front of you car when you go on a long drive. The bugs will be easier to clean off.

It looks cool and I keep the comfort of 40series tires in the front. Anyway, I blew a tire and bent a rim in the front, so instead of replacing an 18" rim with another 18" rim, I just bought two 19" wheels. eventually I'll get two more 19"ers and sell the 18" wheels for peanuts.
