I'd say change your exhaust pipes to something different. Not sure how to explain it, but I don't think those look right on that car, looks like something you would see on the back of a pickup or old mustang.
But my bias is, I don't like to see the exhaust at all, except on the birds where it needs to be there.

Looks good, another vote though on replacing the exhaust tips (at least with sometihng with dual/dual type of tips).
If you lower it, make sure you get appropriate rear springs for a vert or you could use the rear perch mod to lower rear end.

Agreed that exhaust needs to go. If you have the coin, I have always loved the CME on your car and wished I could get it for my TA. Oh well ....

Very nice and I agree with the exhaust tips, however, I think they are just sticking out too far. My vote would be to move them in 3 inches and they would look fine..just my two cents worth.

You can lower the back of the car approximately 3/4" by removing the thick rear spring 'perch' (aka: isolator) and wrapping the end of the spring with a heater hose instead.
For the front you would just find a good 1" drop spring (I have hotchkis) and a set of good shocks all around.

Car looks nice, and would look better without tips!

So converibles have different springs:bang:? I have always thought they where the same. How bad would it be to run lt1 springs on the rear?
Sorry for the :hijack:

Hmm, I hadn't heard they were any different, except that the car is a bit heavier. But then I am not a genius about these beasts....
