Auto-bahn FTW! I love that kit. I wish it was made of a better material. He doesn't have the rear does he? I couldn't really tell from the pics.

Thanks for sharing.

Should be about 300 or so for the front with Mobworks or M1 Auto... the two most "famous" places in So Cali for modded cars.

actually japanese fiberglass is pretty well constructed. I had my fair share of bumps and bruises and it really surprised me that my bumper hasn't crack in half already. Fiberglass get a lot of bad rap from the cheap ricer fiberglass kits on civics.

haha I hope you're being sarcastic lol, because barely scrape and this kit would never be in the same sentence for me. Especially lowered.

i'm serious. to get up on my driveway i forward and reverse about 2 times to get up and i don't scrape. that's just about the hardest place for me unless i go to somewhere i've never been before. you must have a lotta crazy steep driveway and dips up there.

I scrape everything, I can never get up car lifts without using the emergency jack or a mini ramp, that is stressing. And going forward and reverse two times to get down your driveway is hardly relaxing.

yea, you almost did scrape. Looked like less than a centimeter clearance left. If i had sat in the car, you woulda. I would so scrape that place, so i will stay away.

It works for me . Yea, i can't use lifts anymore either. how do you use the emergency jack??? lol. I find that useless now. Doesn't the sideskirt block the area where we are suppose to put it? I personally don't know how i'd get my car up lifts anymore either, but I haven't done so yet.

No, actually your side skirt is really conveniently designed so that there is plenty of room to put the emergency jack underneath the car. But without lifting the car up and inch or two, a regular jack will not fit in there. I remember IzzI's car is so low, at the last meet, I was barely able to get my toe underneath the front. I have big feet but still.
