Ok, hot damn it. I finally get a hold of a digital camera, and guess what? The battery dies so I can't take all the angle pics. I had to end up turning it on real quick and snapping it real quick b4 it powered off. Well, it was night time anyways so I'll take the rest tomorrow when i pick up my car.

Oh, my first intent on taking the pics was to see the ground clearance and see how much I'd have to adjust the height. Looking at the last picture you can see just how damn low it is with the sideskirts.

ValueTL: How much clearance do you have man??

 

Oh, foglights and stuff should be on tomorrow. I've left hte car at the body shop all this time b/c I wanted to let the paint heal for a good month b4 I started driving. Kind of overkill. You can kind of see the Kandy paint, but nothing like when the sun hits it. It just sparkles in the sun.

 

one last thing, background on the paint. Let's just say it's a few g's. the paint is immaculate. whole engine bay is basically painted, whole trunk- this includes spare tire area, everything. YOu stick you head in the trunk and look up and that's painted. I didn't think they'd go that far. Oh yeah, all the doors were painted too. Interior was freaking stripped. Behind the doors was painted and all. Most of the floor too. So when you lift the carpet you see that color. You can't really tell this was a color change.

You have to see the paint in person to appreciate it. Pics don't do Kandy paint justice.

So who thinks that's an ugly color? Be honest.

I think that white stuff is compound.

 

Mike your ride height looks pretty close to what I'm running maybe alittle lower up front. You might want to raise it alittle to prevent hard grinds on driveways. As for your paint color, you first told me red but I think it looks more orange than red. Looks sweet just from the first pics I seen. Can't to (finally) see it, now I have a fellow VALUE SPORTS driver. Post more pics looking good. Do you want me to measure my clearence under my front spoiler???

 

HOLY SH*T ! ! !That is sweet!!!!!!!!! WOW the first custom paint on a TL!!! good job, on top of that a Value Kit. dam you pimp!!!LOL
