Lowered and Waxed, a few quick shot.

Thought I would share a few pictures of the car lowered ( but other wise completely stock) with a layer of poorboy Natty wax

off the carwash


Still higher than a stock height S2k after lowering


gotta love the doors


Front is good


Rear looks better


Top is good too


thats that

How much was the drop? It doesn't really look like it was lowered at all.

Look closely at the second pic. There is a shine to the tire which makes the tire appear to end, but it merely falls into shadow. You can look for the lighter color dirt on the treads to see how high up the tire goes. It might not be tucked, but it's certainly lower than my stock ride height 8.

I just realized I've had the car for a year now and I'm still getting excited by it everyday. Never fails to put a smile on my face no matter how bad my day has been.

haha thanks. Im excited! I got it the day after my bday so I'm going to be celebrating both at the same time
As for the autobahn kit, I've actually decided to wait until next summer to install it. Reason being that I actually like the OEM look right now, so I want to enjoy it for another year before I change it up. I'm pretty sure I will be driving this thing to the ground so no rush. That and I will be out of country for probably a good portion of the summer this year.
