introducting my 2nd gen SSM TL

hey, this is gonna be my first time showing you guys pictures of my car on acurazine. sorry for the poor quality pictures. i'm not a photographer in any way so i just grabbed my sister's digicam and took some quick shots. enjoy!

future plans (in order)
- Clifford/Viper 2 way pager alarm
- Oem Window Visors
- JL audio system
- Tein SS Coilovers with EDFC
- Greddy Evo2 Dual Exhaust

that's it. just gonna keep it simple because it's gonna be my daily for the next few years.

Looks good, that drop is a great start. I'm a huge fan of SSM... but as you can see I'm a little biased.

Rajca, i noticed that your ride height is a lot like mine. do you rub when you turn to go up driving ramps or when you reverse out and have to steering wheel all the way to the right?

i bought gound-controls that came with stock shocks, so i didn't have to use mine

oh yeah, my car looks a lot lower in person believe it or not.
