Looks pretty good, I think some lowering springs and larger tips that don't hang down low like those do would help the looks alot.

Vewy, vewy nice. However it's not show worthy until it's lowered.

Pass go, but do not collect $200. Settle for a 3rd place trophy.


Just fkin' with ya. Nice ride for sure, but it does need some springs... BAD

Polished oval tips would look cool. A lowered stance would make an overal appearance improvement. And if you were willing, maybe taking the TA side emblems off would make it cleaner?

I'd like to lower it, but the area I live in has some pretty bad roads, (the one I live on is gravel ) I'm afraid I'll scrape the damn axle off
The side emblems are probably going, replaced by dragons zo6 style WS6 emblems

Lowering the car lowers the body not the axel....

How about 1" lowering springs from Hotchkis?

Not too low, not too high. Just an idea.

I did the pro-kit springs... and I was surprised at how much clearance I still have. Its really not as bad as some make it sound... just dont go with any of the drastic springs.

Yeah, get the bigger tips and the lowering springs. It will look like a whole different ride.

I know, my fingers typed it out before my brain realized what I'd typed
So what's the opinion on the SLP springs, and Bilstein HDs aren't they supposed to lower the car a bit (like .5 inch)
As for tips I'm kinda waiting till Firehawk#608 gets his store going (I'd like the fake Corsa tips)

Tint
Color match your emblems and front bird to the color of your stripes, it'll go with the polished lips of the wheels, and with the rear fill ins. Even if you take the emblems off you can always put 'em back on later.
I dont have a preference on lowering it, but if you want go ahead.

Man, that really made my day hearing that.

I was supposed to do the final deal on my coil relocation kit this weekend. but after the first car decided to go to the Year One Experience this weekend I had to find another to do the job on. I did two days ago, but at the last funkin' minute today he calls me and says," Hey man, I didn't know the YOE was this weekend. I'm selling my nitrous kit next week so I wanted to get a few more passes in."

I'm so fuggin' mad you have no idea. Now I'm going to have to wait till next weekend to do it. (It's going to be a two day process to write instructions and take pictures while I'm doing the kit. I need two full days)

I'm really wanting to get this rolling in the worst way, I'm taking a whole bunch of parts to the chromer next week to have a couple hard parts on the shelf, and the other/custom orders will be a 10 day turn around.

Please be patient..... Thanks. ~Joshua
