You should have left the reverse sections of the tail lamps alone, it's a much cleaner and more modern look then fully blacked out tails. Also, consider doing the heater hose mod in the rear just to get it to sit slightly lower before you get it lowered. Overall, the subtle mods look good!

Have you ever removed your rear springs before? Its as easy as lifting the rear of the car and supporting it so the rear end just hangs, remove the the lower shock bolts and your rear end should hang down a little more after you take them off. Then you can wiggle your rear springs out, and at the top of your springs there is a plastic piece that is about 1 inch or so thick. You remove that and then you slide a piece of hose over the top coil of the spring. Wiggle the spring back on to the proper position, lift the rear a little and insert your shocks again, tighten the bolt. Lower the car and done. The back of your car will be lowered a little bit. Hope that helps, if you need more helps or some pics just PM me

^^ what he said just take rear springs out (super easy) take the thick rubber insert out. Take some heater hose and put it on the first coil of the spring and pop them back in.

All the hose is doing is helping to safe guard against metal to metal contact. Scraping noises and things like that. Its worth about a half inch drop.
