Default Finally lookin' good!!

when I got this car last year I knew I would have to adjust the exterior. a few weeks ago I got my hood repainted to match the body color. about a week later I did some compounding, polish, and liquid wax with a buffer. all the meguiars Ultimate list. I got some matte black super snake stripes today. I am so happy about the way it turned out. when I left the guys shops where I got the stripes on, I got about 1.5 miles down the road and got my first compliment at an intersection. HA! love it. BTW my wheels r foose nitrous wheels. they r actually chrome but I put some black plasti dip on them. just trying it out. anywho, tell me what yall think.

Thanks. It's not lowered. I have thought about it. It's got tokico front struts, aftermarket adjustable LCA UCA and a steeda anti roll bar for suspension. It had Komi rear shocks. They blew out the. I put stocks back in.

Alright Ill look into some lowering springs. Not saying I'll get them but I'll check them out. Do they affect ride quality? Do they help get power to the ground? I detail on the side a little so that's how I'll pay for them, keeps the wife at bay lol

UPR Pro Series Lowering springs. They are made for us by Eibach to the same specs as Eibach's Pro Kit springs. They carry Eibach's Million Mile Warranty. And check out the price!

I'm running these on my car and they work well.
