Atilla is going to post up the pictures for me.

My car is so low that I'm scraping every ramp, speed bumps, and potholes...

overall i gotta give shine some credit - the fitment seems pretty damn good. i'm definately no pro - but if i were to give an overall grade - i'd say a B+

I haven't had the chance to install it yet, I'll do it before the Irvine meet.

Replaced it with clear corners and fixed the fitment issue for the corners. Unfortunately, no up close pic of it since it's too dark to take a pic of.

Here's a pic of my clears in the dark.

whats up guys? i'm just chillin... been workin lately, but plan to switch as i took a temporary job. i didn't like it...

but yea, haven't been able to afford the trip to autobacs nowadays due to the gas prices... and i'm tight on flows lately. so i can only go to the 626 meet which is only 2 blocks from my pad.

nice hearing from you guys... the ride looks clean john!


* lets plan our caravan when sevenstock nears this year... i'm there dead or alive!

I swapped out my springs yesterday so now I'm running Swift Springs. I no longer have my RS*R's... Also, my RS*R's felt ALOT stiffer. I miss the lowness of the RS*R's already. Well, at least I don't scrape and bottom out my 8 anymore.
