More pics. I'm SO stoked..even though no ETA yet.












Extensions needed yes, but springs might be a problem and considering the s-techs only lower up to 1.7 inches, I don't think I'm going to need it.

I'm surprised you didn't have them paint the side mirrors. The car is looking great over all though.

I think you can afford a drop like a full inch would look awesome to close that wheel gap

Thank you, thank you! :D I've learned from reading and studying all of the things that you guys have done. I hope she is half as nice as your cars.

Everything has been painted....I just didn't wipe the dust off of the mirror.

I'm headed down to the shop tonight to get some measurements and I'll grab the camera...I'm hoping the nose is on! The latest photos are up.

She won't be ready for the driveout. Trust me.........I wish.

Unless I'm really lucky, I'm looking at 4th of July weekend...There is still alot of work to do.

Just got back from the shop!

1. She does NOT need springs! YES!
2. If I can get the templates done for my little mystery surprise, by this Friday, I should have her in my hands by the 4th of JUNE! That is a little over a week! e:
3. I did get pictures of the ***, with the trunk lid on.I'll get them up hopefully tomorrow.

Well the trunk is on, and here's another short of the skirts.....No more pics until she's done. The painter absolutely refuses to allow me to see her with the painted nose on!

No, mine didn't but you can buy them different places. Luckily even with 43K miles on my car my oil coolers weren't that bad. Get them anyway......

I hope so! Having her without the canards to begin with, and then if I decide to have them put on I can. I have the best of both worlds!
