Default Finally did it...Lowered the V
All I can say it lowering is the best appearance mod anyone can do, IMO. I rented a lift at the base auto hobby shop, which made is a HELL of a lot easier. Total working time to do everything was just over 5 hours, with total time there at 6 and a half. 6 and half includes cleaning the work stall, BS-ing, taking a few smoke breaks.

Edit: This is H&Rs with MightyMouse Spacers.

When I read the title i thought it was about you losing your virginity at 25. Car looks good though H&Rs are the perfect spring for these cars IMO.

Oh and take that damn CTS emblem off the trunk.
