Lip Kit is self painted and mounted.

man, i'm seriously considering it, but i want to keep the smooth ride and don't want to have to worry about drive ways and slopes like i use to. it's a headache, but then again, it would look nice though . thinkin about teins H with maybe tokico shocks if anything... suggestions??? should i or should i not since it is daily driving in Houston.

Im happy with my tien SS, If your going to drop it you get a much smoother ride with coilovers vs. springs..... But it all depends also on what kind of drop you want.....

Right now I have about a one finger gap,and im happy with that, scraping is the big concern especially with headers My flex pipe is shreaded

right now, my wheel is almost flush with my fender. my concern is with the rubbing. if i do drop, i don't want too much of a drop that's why i chose teins H if i do drop. But seriously... it rides smoother with coilovers?? if anything i woulda figure coilovers are much rougher since there is not alot of rebound space.

Hmmm.. mugen spoiler.... what you think about those M5 spoilers?

nice work so far, m5 replica spoiler goes for 70 painted on ebay(good investment). my opinion on it is it doesnt look good without a drop and wheels def arent my favorite.

haha, thanx for the encouragement guys, that'll be my next move then, is to find the perfect drop. nothing fancy though, so don't expect too much.
