I need to adjust the height, this is on the last thread. I could barely get out of my drive way.

That picture was taken without me in the car. I raised it by 10 threads and I don't rub anymore but i'm still tucking tire. Gonna go another 5-8 threads and I should be good. Going for a 1 finger gap all around.

Many pictures of the same thing. I'm not finished raising the front & I don't have the rear spacers on in this picture. ( You can click on the pictures to see them bigger)

Looks great Alex! I would lower the rear a bit and then you'll be set!

Btw what are those wires hanging under the front bumper? For the fogs?

If I am hearing you guys correctly, I should raise the front a little more.

The wires are for the hid fogs, well the ones in the lower grill.

Leave her as she sits. I'm probably lower than that. Just get somenoe you trust to mod/roll your fenders in a little and it won't rub at all. Unless you have spacers up front.

Has your grill chipped over time or did you do something to prevent that from happening?

I see you tackled that headlight mod, looks good Alex.
Next time tell your lazy passenger to get out the car so he don't look so creepy in the pics.

Thanks everyone,

@ Tyler I like the amber diffuser. Did you find Cosmos?

@sean, I bought mine used so it was cheaper than new. Yes they all come painted and cost around $760 ish shipped.

I traded my headlights with someone local, so i didn't really tackle the headlight mod.
