ej6buddy, i know what you think of my car already, lol

So I'm keeping the window banner. I explained it's functionality in an earlier post, plus I like the styling it gives.

I'm keeping the eyelids. It think my car looks like a ***** car without them. They give the front end a "meaner" look, if that's possible.

But, I sort of agree with you on the rear drums. They are being painted dark blue like the front calipers. The paint takes 24 hours to dry and I work 6 days a week. So, It's hard to find the right time.

Now for the lowering...
The front is 5.5" from the ground. Any lower and I scrape (I know because I did last summer, a lot [:@]) I have the rear dropped only a little so that the center of gravity of the car is adjusted forward slightly. Since it's a FWD car, moving the center of gavity forward puts more weight on the front wheels. That way my start offs are a little better. I autocross a lot and I have seen a difference between and even drop and the uneven drop. The uneven drop results better times.

ok, i didn't realize i already commented on it, my bad if it offends you, i just thought it looks like there's way too much white on your car, but i just like small things that offset all the color. and yes, i see you're pretty low now, it just looked like it wasn't because of your rims.

Well, some day, far down the road, I'll be getting a CF hood and probably a CF trunk too. That will definitely help out with too much white issue!

Looks good. I can tell there is some love there.

Try some CF eyelids and a tint strip instead of the white.You need someaccent to go withyour wheels... or get white wheelsMy $0.02, but it's your car.

it shouldnt take that long bud, mine took about an hour. just get blue caliper paint from an auto store and it should work fast, just redo the calipers too so they match. good luck bud
