Default Finally some photos after lowering springs....

Tinted the windows last year and installed Ford Quarter scoops this year with steeda sport springs, steeda hd camber plates and tokico d spec shocks. Installed the adjustable panhard bar and brace from steeda as well. I'm very pleased with the results and the car rides nicer now then it did at a stock height. Sorry about the quality of pics...of an older phone...

Here's a photo when I just bought the car...



Here are some more recent photos...

Nice looking car! I loved Whitefish,MT. Did quite a bit of horseback riding there and on the Canadian border.

Is that blackout a magnet? If so, you might wanna replace it with a vinyl. Looks better and it's easy to replace. I had a magnet on mine but after a year or so the surface cracked and the finish wasn't holding up. Blackouts looks great, but those magnets don't last.

On another note I'm lovin' the changes. You've totally refreshed the look of the car. Good work, mate!

I'm running 295/30 20's in the back with 255/35 20's in the front. Very happy with it now that it's lowered. It didn't look right when it was at stock height with 20's imo.

That is a magnetic panel on the back. I've been thinking about going vinyl or getting rid of it and getting some black lemans stripes put on instead. It's not cracking but is starting to shrink. You can see silver on the outside edge of it now.

Thanks for the compliments!

Wow, looks great tjr. A very clean ride and the lowered stance, wheels, and chin are very aggressive.

How wide are those wheels? Looks like a good bit of thought went into wheel width vs tire size.
