You lowered it and took off the door strip thingy right? Whatever you did it looks great!

DEALER STICKER OFF and you removed the door bumper guard or whatever it is called looks good

Thanks!! yea I put on a set of eibach sportlines, got rid of that door guard and the dealer sticker on the trunk. It lowered the car by 1.5 in so far, I am told that it will settle another 1/2 in in a few days. I am going to fix the stripes in the morning.

sportlines eh! right now it looks as low as mine.. id be scared if it goes any lower.. but then again the roads around here are bumpy be very carefull for curbs when opening your doors, pulling up to your favorite coffee shop, driveways.. some dont look steep but that 2 inch drop at the bottom is enough to make your cars chin touch the ground.. and speed bumps.. literaly roll them soo slow you would be going backwards

Thanks for the advice, I have been driving around town a bit today and have not had it scrape yet. I did bottom out the rear suspension when I hit a dip in the road doing about 90 mph. Ther is a steep incline leaving the local gas station that has scrapes all over it from cars pulling out, I took it at an angle and didn't rub any. I guees I will have to just whatch what I am doing, I sometimes have the tendancy to pull all the way up on those curbs at gas stations, can't be doin that anymore!!

Now that's what I'm talkin about! Looks hot, really needed that drop! Like mentioned by others; be real careful on speed bumps, take them at an angle, same with steep driveways. On speed bumps it's the front end you have to worry about, if you let the front wheels go over too fast you will scrape the bottom. I tore up the bottom of my rockers going up a driveway that was too crowned, and I have the Pro Kit.
