Did you drop the front and jack up the back? The first pic looks like a TL-L(owrider) senor!

I was thinking the same thing.

BTW, did you use the paint remover like everybody else for the chrome shift plate look?

Looks good.

i did mine on my first generation ... it was veryeasy ... you just have to get the plate off and then get this stuff called "Zip-Strip" from like sears or someting and put it on (alot ) let it sit for a while and then just rinse with water and wipe off and you have a chrome shift plate
just do a search on Chrome shirt plate and you should find anything else that you might need

Blackshadow, I think it's because he took the pic around sunset, and the lack of a "shadow" in the rear makes it appear as if the rear is jacked up

Nice ride Copy.

Nice ride Copy.
That's exactly why it's looks jacked up in the end...also because the parking lot where I took the picture wasn't really flat. The front of the car actually looks lower than it really is and the back looks ALOT higher than it actually is.

As for the chrome shift plate...I actually didn't use any solvents at all. I pulled the plate off and just used my finger nails to get all the paint off. It took me about 15 minutes to do. It's funny how one of the "nicest" mods takes the least amount of time and money to do

Here's another more "accurate" pic of my ride...

The car looks great man! I'm also using the H&R Sport springs love the way the body kits brings it all together. Unfortunately having a lowered car and a body kit wouldn't be the best thing for me! I live in NYC and with all the driving I do I don't think it would be smart. I know others do it but im still torn!! DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!

Trust me when I say that we here in Montreal have our fairshare of potholes. Actually Montreal is one huge pothole in and of itself

Don't worry about the kit though 'cause it's made of polyurethane. It can bend so it won't break that easily

It not so much having it break rather than scratching up something that cost almost $1G!!

I understand, but don't worry so much. If it does scratch it'll be the bottom of the front lip where nobody will see...just avoid the really HUGE potholes.

Right now I'm using the stock Michelins...but as soon as those go I'll probably be switching to some Bridgestone S-03's 215/45ZR17.
