Tim is right wifey gets her own garage. 2 car garage to the left and a one car garage to the right. It's a great setup, she doesn't have to deal with all my mess and I don't have to worry about her dealing with my mess. Haha.
Was eating a slice of pizza and I had a good view of my car. Was noticing how flush the wheels sit, not bad huh. I love the concave of the rear. Of course some moar low would finish it off well but NOPE, not yet. Do not want to mess with that now. I'm part of the stock height crew along with Steven.

<p> </p><p>I certainly wouldn't bring it back up, you did...so I'm not sure you're even in that "we" group. I don't personally care what height your car is at. </p>
<p>Sorry...I'm not in a great mood. Had knee surgery and I'm sitting on a couch in pain...as you'd imagine that's hard for a busy body to do. </p><p> </p><p>Looks great, man...even at that height. Lowered, will bring the tops in slightly...bam, perfection. When the time is right. </p>
What knee surgery Mr. Grumpy? I have a torn meniscus and keep putting off the surgery because some people end up worse after surgery. My nephew is currently recovering from ACL surgery this week.
<p>Torn meniscus...too...it happened 4 years ago...I could tell something hasn't been right. I tried physical therapy...nada...went to a holistic guy that would massage it...nada...got mri...nada...hated the first dr I went to go see...</p><p> </p><p>Then I met Dr. Alfred Desimone...warm, caring...treats a bunch of panthers and other sports players and I decided if I ever let anyone cut me, it would be him. Fucking awesome bro...so far so good...I was scared as fk cause I've never been under and I've never had surgery but his place made it very very awesome. I would have no problem recommending him although you're so far so follow up and everything else would suck. </p><p> </p><p>Anyway...he found all the torn tissue that was just flapping away in there...and removed it and the scar tissue and smoothed out my patella that had a bunch of arthritis build up on it...so far, I feel great and I'm confident it'll put me back at 100%. I could still jog and bike and play basketball but at the end of the day the knee would feel swollen and uncomfortable...even after standing on it for 10 minutes or cutting the grass. Little by little I've been feeling my other knee feeling the strain and my other hip was starting to hurt because I was pushing off of my strong leg.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway...I'll keep you updated on the outcome but so far, happy. I'll pray for your nephew ...</p>
Yeah too bad the meniscus doesn't repair itself (no blood flow). Good luck with the recovery. I'm curious as to how it goes for you. Mine only bothers me when I fully squat or run too much so its not enough of an issue to motivate me to get surgery (not yet at least). In the other hand I would get surgery on my lower back in a heart beat if the probability of success was higher (and if it was less risky, most doctors talk you out of it). Good luck.
<p>My two weaknesses...lower back and knees. </p><p>but thank you...yeah, fuk it...if it's not a big tear, don't sweat it. Mine was a big one. </p>
Project Exhaust Hack coming up in a couple weeks. Wish me luck!
Ended up going this route because i'm tired of driving around silent and there are no good videos/sound clips online to follow. So i have to make up my own route. I already removed the stock x-pipe/resonator which didnt increase sound but did give it s slight flutter at idle (probably from losing the x-pipe). Online i have seen videos of these cars with both mufflers removed which sound great (deep, agressive tone) but are too loud. The reviews on the Magnaflow 12468 have almost all said it didnt make any car louder so my thought is i will remove the mufflers to get good deep, sound and add back in the Magnaflow to remove flutter i got from losing x-pipe, continue refining sound and reduce sound level from muffler delete mod. MY past experience with Magnaflow is good deep tone but low sound which is what i want. If it ends up too loud still, then i will have to add something where the mufflers used to be....hopefully not the case.
<p>For what it's worth I'd paint the calipers black. What way it's not all grey but it's not a standout "ricey" type color either. <img alt="2 Cents" src="https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/2cents.gif" style="height:15px; width:30px" title="2 Cents" /></p><p>Edit: Although matching the front side marker orange would look pretty good too...</p>

Thx for the suggestion man, i'm thinking along the same lines. Already got a bunch of grey a different color would help contrast a bit. Black would be easy but kind of plain, some tone of orange might be cool too. I already tried on a extra RDX caliper cover i had lying around on the rear but the fit is not good. I'm trying to avoid buying cheap plastic ones. We'll see where this goes. Thx

You, my friend, are a funny, funny guy! I was at the Corvette FunFest this weekend. No one has a good fix yet for lowering the C7. I'm lowered on stock bolt, but I know, I know-you want MOAR LOWER!
Jeremy, I hope you're feeling better, buddy. I know we talked about your surgery. It hurts now, but you'll be SO much better in the long run.
