Waxed Winning Blue pics

Took some time to wax the 8 today and went to take some pics. Not the best of background scenery, but there isn't a whole lot to work with around here.

Yeah I like the stock look. All I need is the front mud guards to complete the look. Don't get me wrong, If I had the cash I would probally put a kit on it...or atleast sideskirts.

Here's mine. Took me about 5 hours to wash, wax, polish, and polish up the exhaust.

Car looks good Kanedrz, but you should take pics when there isn't so much sun. Exhaust looks great. I polished up my tips when I bought my SP2, because I got it used and they were tarnished, but it doesn't take long and the yellow tint will be back.

And u should take pics with more light. The tint will appear a lot later than any other polisher. Next I'm gonna polish up the stock wheels.

I had a mechanic at the dealership where I used to work install them. If your talking about looking lower in the close up shot of my wheel, then idk, sometimes depending on where it sits the wheel almost tucks up under the fender. The front could've dropped a lil bit more in my opinion. I wish I would've had the cash for coilovers, then I could've attained the perfect drop.

Nah...I went with S. Tech's because I wanted to kill the front wheel gap the most I could, and the S. Tech's have more of a drop than the H. Tech's. I also researched other springs out there and they all seem to have an even drop in the front and back, and to give the 8 a good stance you need something with more of a drop in the front then in the back.
