Removing body kit...DOH!!!

Ok so this picture...

Has sold me...

I drilled a few holes to mount the kit which is the kicker. Way less holes then the way them came from the factory but i am OCD and wouldnt be able to live with the holes... Has anyone paid to have them filled? I think i have 9 holes total. Anyone have any ideas? God that car in the pic is so bad ***.

That is the STI Killer. GM high tech has a write up on it. It is def a sweet car. They have a ton of work in the suspension on that thing.

Good decision.

The junk on the rocker panels looks melted in the middle and the rest is just tacky.

yup 1.25 bmr springs and then the 1" bmr a-arms 2.25 in the front and the rear is bmr springs with the hose mod.

i know there's also a thread on the suspension part of a black ss with the same a-arms and stranos and the stance is fn killer.

Wait a sec..........

I just noticed you don't have the ugly 3 piece spoiler which I had removed.

So it will be cheaper in your situation
