i didnt have time to go to the shop because i was hunting around for a Seibon TS hood, when i couldnt get one on the FS section. i ended up driving during rush hour to Walnut CA to pick one up for $500 new!

im sure they are, because i had fiberglass side skirts and Medhi [owner] offered to fix them for free too, but i said no, just cut them up and throw them away. he really is good at paying attention to detail, but i didn't want to deal with fiberglass anymore, even though he offered to fix all the cracks and fitment issues.

damn! thats scary!
how much of an incline is your driveway? because mine is about a 35% incline, so im kind of scared to lower mine. before, it used to be around 45-50% incline but my dad and i had to redo it because i would scrape even when i was stock

Yeah my parent got the driveway redone. I told them to make it less steep but they didn't tell the people who did it so it came out the same. Idk how much of an incline it is but it sucks. I even scraped when I was stock when my trunk was full. The city did our driveway.
