Did you put it over the splash guard? I tucked my side skirts under it after I trimmed it.

Not bad time considering the rain. I took my time with mine, but whatever gets it done.

Still looks good either way man! Yay for the Graphites!

Nice

I'm waiting on rims. There's a bunch of stuff I want done, but I'd much rather wait till after my last deployment.

Where did you get the lipkit and sides painted at? And about how much did it cost?

I got them painted at Primo in South Tampa. I paid bout 400, because my dog decided to chew on my lipkit sides. So they had to fix it. Damn Dogs. Also it was the cheapest place I could find.

Bad dog!

lol

Yeah there's a body shop near me, I'm going to see how much it will cost to get the kit painted there when/if I get one.

GreeNeons03 · Post by **GreeNeons03** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 6:09 pm

Will you need a spring compressor? I have one that I'll sell to you. I don't need it anymore.

latief · Post by **latief** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 9:24 am

you can rent a spring compressor from Autozone or Advance Auto for free (you pay for it, and get your money back once you return it)...

nice car, hopefully you will like the springs....

Just got around to lowering the front of the car. maybe the rear next weekend.

GreeNeons03 · Post by **GreeNeons03** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:21 pm

Is that with the springs you bought on stock struts?

I only got the megan racing springs from latief. The springs are on my stock struts though.

Finished the lowering the whole car today.

Get a bietter picture. I see a giant shadow and 2 wheels. Hooray for lowering the car. The look is great but you probably won't like the ride or the fact your stock struts will blow soon and having to do it all over again.

That sucks because that drop looks sweet.

I'm liking the ride height man! Now save up for some KYB, Koni, or Toyoko struts.

Stock struts will blow soon? About how soon? I've had Eibach Lowering Springs on stock-everything-else since November 13. Granted I don't drive like a maniac and I baby my car on the littlest of bumps, but yea... now I'm considering on saving for struts myself (and LCA Bushings that LSP suggested I get replaced).

But back on topic, the ride looks awesome with it lowered and the lip kit

That's good. I still wish I had a fog light bumper

but I did get a VVME HID kit installed and it looks badass. You should get the kit, it's uber fucking cheap right now. I gotta get pics of it up.

Looks good man, I need to get to work on my brake and suspension project ASAP. But I need monies first!

latief · Post by **latief** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 3:35 pm

hey, i want a better picture of your car to see how these turned out.....

how is the ride?

Sabersoul · Post by **Sabersoul** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 3:44 pm

Looks really good.

How difficult is it to remove the side molding? I want to get rid of mine, too. It doesn't do any good with the shape of the doors anyway, it always gets dinged above it.
