Ill shot
after some time of taking pics, I finally took a shot Im very satisfied with....
gonna look into getting that 4 point bar for the front, some visors and even a CF lip, but these OEM lips sure takes a good beating.

i always :gheylaugh: when I see people cheating with the good ol driveway shot.
nice car
some critiques: find some place with a less distracting background so that you can isolate the car more. Also, keep in mind your exposure. Your headlight, the whole front side of that house and the reflections off your windshield/hood detract from the pic.

....and I love how the OEM lip came painted, the way how they painted it in that layer protective shit, makes it hard to get scratched literally, unless u rubb against a curb, I found out the hardway...but if the paint was cheap, my lip would not have remained in that condition thats it in....yeh I will, im tryin to secure my oil pan most as possible....either its that 4point, or some thing custom made.....

trust me bro, u gotta see under that shit, im glad that I bought the offical oem shit, cause that front lip hit some crazy dips......I just tried my best not to drive into any craters, but the bubbles on all 4 of my 17's sure tells the tales....I hit some potholes, that literally bent my stock 17's ....and I love how the OEM lip came painted, the way how they painted it in that layer protective shit, makes it hard to get scratched literally, unless u rubb against a curb, I found out the hardway...but if the paint was cheap, my lip would not have remained in that condition thats it in....

thanks bro, that black on black look is OFFICAL!
cracked in half? im sure u had to hit something else, only main thing Im usually worried about is curbs, I cant even open my doors cause the door would slamm against the curb, I always gotta pull out for anyone to get in, pending on what side im parked to the curb, and the curb height. the CITY curbs are the worst.
my heat sheild also departed from the car......
HENRY KEEP THE CAR BRO! it looks great man
lol my front lip is another story. it's been in a battlefield. it has a slight dent to the passenger's side near the middle from hitting a cone at what? 25mph? and my oem lip cracked in half from the middle. and oh boy.. you don't wanna see underneath.i can take pics but it won't be a lovely sight

believe it or not im on springs with stock struts, pretty comfy, for all those years the stock struts have been on for, doesnt bounce at all, and of course its a pain when I ride into mini craters, thats when the struts act up, but overall, car rides great, I feel safe and confident steppin on the gas when riding left lanes or right lanes even with those sewer drains, and im talkin about our NY highways....
but im definitely changing my suspension this year to my Teins SS's, was gonna get FF TYPE 1's but I need some type of damping. Type 1 has none and I prefer some comfort rather than banging suspension parts together, which would cause them to wear even more....IMO.

well, you gotta remember with the Tein SS.. or even basics, the lower you go, the less shock travel it has so.... its gonna suck. haha
might as well stay dropped on springs and shocks... if damping was really of concern, i'd go with megans, BC racing... i'm sure the other brands out there come with damping as well..
but FF1 aren't all that stiff or in your words.. "banging suspension parts together"
