he takes shots on the grass so the car appears lower.. amirite? That looks so stunning though man, FUCK 
The butt has a new v plate holder??
I hate those work meisters
Keep it OEM for that, you want to keep a caddy classy. Powder them if anything

Yes, that looks very awesome. Did you debadge the V a while back?
I see no reason to change anything stance-wise for the time being!

Thanks guys...
it's not to appear lower, it's mainly cause I love the contrast the car gives being on the green...it's so normal to see a car on the road, so it's fun to put it on different textures and colors to kinda make a different canvas for shots!
I did have one brief moment where I slipped a little but I eased off the throttle and was good!
Got to use that wagon versatility today to load up the advan to package up for shipping
Thanks Aman and Jeff, actually that "V" plate has been on for a month...and no, I deVadged yesterday. I almost only took off the CTS because it had crud around it, but I'm big on symmetry so I wanted to lose the "V" too on the right...they're still on the fenders, obviously.

I did...
Yes, you and Adam had suggested the debadge, although I had considered it, I was torn with leaving well enough alone and not straying from stock, although I can't disagree...it looks stupendous without anything.
Not local, a member on here in Philly, but he doesn't post much so I have a feeling you won't see them, don't worry. Super nice guy, cut him what I think is a super fail deal...spent the last 3 hours in the attic and chasing down 2 other boxes...everything is boxed and labeled and ready for a Monday morning drop off.

oh wait, I think I misread that! Thanks Jeff!
Yeah, I wanted to duplicate it on the S2000 Advan but the powder guy didn't really feel like it, figured I could always throw them on the car and run the rear wheel at low speed on a jack with a sanding block to lightly sand the finish off then put a coat of clear on.

I made you laugh. My job is done here.
Oh and PS...I should have known...Collinite fucking streaks on black cars!
I'll be washing with palmolive to strip it back and throwing a coat of Wolfgang on that bitch tomorrow morning. I should not have strayed from perfection.

mad respect and cute baby... Went on a bender on Thursday and had been trading, uh, stuff, for access to the Precinct computer so I couldn't record a video. Did you know that mandatory psychiatric holds are only 48 hours these days? Pretty cool!
Anyway, here you go. 2 of 4, talking to my S.O.:
Enjoy your new car!

I swear, I WISH Majofo would fkng do it...I mean, we all know that him and his SO would have the John Smith floaty face over their real faces to keep anonymity and it would be filmed in his garage with white sheets as background to keep you from figuring out what brand dill pickles and conditioner he buys...
but that would still count.
Kam, we would totally hold you to it!

The real question is, will JawKnee record the Skype session with his girl since he's always out of town; or does he just record what he tells his ATL side piece?

I didn't even notice the debadge! I was too busy looking at the new stance. It looks so clean now. I wouldn't mind just the "V" badge on the right. Maybe it's time to get one of those modded badges to put on there?

Suspension update...
So...it's been nagging me that I got a lower drop by going with a softer spring rate by going with the springs intended for a coupe. In the back of my mind, this seemed ghetto. Well, I have some squatty ass IMO...and with a ride to the grocery store with Mom in back with Z...and major rubbing, I decided that spring swap would be my first step toward fix. If that doesn't work, spacers are coming off and I'll return those. I'm not fucking around with camber and fender rolling...that's exactly what I DIDN'T want to deal with.
So...in my opinion, order the springs intended for the weight of the wagon, not the coupe.

No wonder you spend so much time working in the yard and garage and stuff. B just slams a peg into the hole when you're not expecting it, eh?
