Cool im scrapin!!!

so the ups guy came on friday and dropped off some great stuff.. i was so happy he was hear that i beat him to the door.. i had it unlocked and opened before he could even ring the doorbell... so i got right on it saturday morn...

soooo sexy!!



i was too lazy to take pics while doing it so here its done



wish i had a better camera to show but i got like 2inches of clearance below my exhaust



shes still on my winter wheels though... got my tl-s wheels in the garage...



so funny story is that as im doing this little photoshoot in my driveway the mailman shows up and hands me another package..MY REAR CAMBER KIT ...hahaha.. i was like "where were u this morning before i did all this".. oh well in like a week im gonna jack her back up and put my summer wheels on so that will give me the opportunity to install that and do a little height correction (i think my driver rear is like a 1/4-1/2in higher)...

Word.

If there was a rule book for being low, that should be the first or second rule.

thanks a bunch guys.. i love this thing more everyday i go look at it.. i dont have a good camera myself so most pics come from my iphone.. i would love to get good shots of it with a sick camera if neone is in the lower NH or upper MA area...

yea being this low is a danger but well worth it... its not my first drop so i understand the laws of lowering... lol

im deff contemplating taking the mudflaps off but i kinda like em.. esp since im not getting an oem kit.. its a different look to me...

lastly, does anyone know the laws about our 3rd brake light.. is it necessary.. cuz i unplugged it during my rears and i kinda like it off... do i need to plug it in??

the 2g tl mudguards protrude out too much. they weren't designed with aesthetics in mind like those ones made for g35's, etc.

yeah the high mount brake light is required... at least in cali

the high mount brake light is a nationwide law. i would suggest plugging it back in to avoid any potential hassles.

do you have your front mud flaps still on also? hope you dont encounter any speed bumps.

I actually like the wheels...they look good. Or pick up some 3G stockies for cheap, they look nice on 2G too!

About the mudflaps...drive around that low and they'll probably work themselves out

Also, just saw where you're from...ever go to Acadia State Park? Took a mother/son trip up there 2 years ago...what a gorgeous place! Probably awesome for a photoshoot in the fall!

that is the price from every vendor on the net.
and a damn good price for the product i might add..

if you want cheap, get some springs and hope for the best on your stock shocks..

for what you get in the type Ones, you should be paying 7-800 easily.....
