Drop it like it's....
 
Just got the car back today from Speed Inc. Got new shocks, struts, lowering springs, mounts, and got my Trans Temp gauge put in. Turned out awesome! Thanks Larry and company :)

Any plans to remove the side moldings and either sand/polish the back bird or stick a decal on it? I think the polish mod would look really nice.

Looks great. How much of a drop? BTW, what exhaust set-up do you have?

What polish mod are you referring to? I would like to do the side molding.. i would have to repaint that area though right?

Polish mod is removing the back trans am lettering and bird by sanding then you shine it up so it looks like it came factory that way. I have the same paint as you and removing my side moldings went fine. Repainting is only necessary if your car has been repainted with the side moldings on.

there's a pretty good writeup on it in the Apperance Mod Hall of Fame. I did it and it turned out great, it's totally worth it. Nice car, perfect ride hight too.
