Well i just put new tires on it so it rides a lot better than before..but i feel pretty much every bump, i have to go really sideways over every speed bump and up my driveway. I thought about raising it some but i like how it looks. haha. As soon as it stops raining here ill wash it and take more pics of my engine and wat not.
Gotcha... Thats why I wont be slamming mine quite as much. Anyway, good to have ya aboard!

Thanks everyone. And thanks forty for the link to the DIY. Once its not raining here im gonna do it. If i were to wax it in my garage and its raining outside is it gonna make it look bad once it gets rained on? Also..my friend told me of a place here that steam cleans ur underbody and engine bay and everything. He isnt sure of the price but do u think it would look better than if i did it myself?

I've never heard of the underbody/engine bay steaming before, but its not a bad idea, i might have to look into that. As far as waxing and having it look bad in the rain, it should be fine. I honestly have no experience with waxing, as I've always used that Royal Blue stuff i mentioned in the DIY. That stuff will make all the rain water sit in beads on your car, until you move at which point they just roll right off, leaving no spots behind. HOpe that helps

oo..ok. i thought the royal blue stuff was a kind of wax. ive never used that before. i think i might just try it myself in my garage first. and if my friend really likes the steaming of his underbody and engine bay, i might try it next time. thanks for the help!
