Yea. Ill only do it if I had a winter car. Even then I'm hesitant because I leave near fitchburg,ma which is the 2nd most hilliest city in the US next to san fran. So lip might scrap. A nice subtle drop will look nice. Til I can get some adjustable shocks and be able to move the car up and down during seasons.

i live in pittsburgh, so we get a decent amount of snow, so lowered cars kinda suck around here in the winter... but i lived in johnstown, 2 miles away is ogletown which has the highest peak on the appalation mountains, and i seen so many lowered subarus get stuck on the highway lol. subys were the it thing back then

Yea I do too. But the only bad thing of the color is that its hard finding replacement body parts. Hence why the fender and hood are still messed up. And I don't want to slam it, its my DD for all seasons. And living in new england with a slammed car in the winter is a biatch. What kind of front lip you getting for your eg sedan.

wanted some info on what i should do before the cancer starts spreading near the rear wheels.
this is the driver rear wheel:
what should i do to clean that up before it spreads.
this is the passenger side rear. the kid that owned it before me tried to fix the rust himself but didnt finish. and this is what it looks like now:
again, what should i do to fix this.
and then this is what happend when i got in my accident last year.
the hood is damaged in that little corner and the fender is all scratched and dented all over. should i replace the fender and get it painted, or fix this fender. and as for the hood, do you think it will be cheaper to get that small corner fixed and painted, or a hood(that i already have) in good condition but primered black painted. thanks for any input.

Idk about the carbon fiber hood. Thing is way out of my price range. It would look nice tho. But I think I would paint it my cars color and not leave it black. Don't like to stand out to much. And when you say new quarter panel, remove it from another car and put it on mines. And that cost 300 for parts and labor.
