That's the same shift knob I used as part of my RGB project. Nice piece eh? :) If ya keep having troubles with it coming loose, wrap the threads of your shifter in electrical tape and let the hex screws on the knob drive into the tape. It'll stay in place.

NO! :pissed: 16" wheels are the spawn of satan! If you are going to go bigger then stock, just go 17", seriously. Then you need to lower it (I can't tell if it already is, but anyhow) it will make it a whole lot cooler lookin'! :). If you add 17" and lower it though, you will need to take a bat to the rear wheel wells, or you will go a rubba dub dubbin' down the street, and strip the sidewall out of your $145 Toyo FZ4's (a thing I know all too well...).

dumpt coupes rule! You're about as low as i am and i think i'm the lowest of just about anybody on this board (except those who have bags).

as for the wheels, keep the steelies (JDM y0! :rolleyes). j/k, but i'd keep em dark, it looks good with dark wheels. I like that blue color also. now that i've seen your car, i'm gonna have to nightshade my lights and stuff. it looks just too good not to.

hahah man... he is already dragging the frame. lol.

Anyways.. nice looking car man!

Did you make the gauges yourself? or if not, where did you get them? they look just awesome.

And I would get some ROTA wheels or something like that, they would look awesome on your car.

eBay. Or if you have an Autozone nearby, they may have it.

It looks good but there's no way that's a 4" drop. It looks more like 2.25" to 3". My car sits crooked and the highest wheel gap is 3.5". A 4" drop would tuck the wheels. Yours must have been a monster truck before. It looks awesome though. Mine will probably look like that after the drop too.

Signed your guestbook, now make sure to sign mine!! I like it, need some rims tho. Go with 16's.

yea, im not too sure on the drop. the coilovers say any where from a 1"-4" drop and i got them at the lowest. someone i work with has a vw jetta with a 4"drop with lowering springs and it looks pretty much the same.

well i put some close up shots of the drop on page 2. check it out and tell me what u guys think it is, cuz i aint too sure how low it is annyhoo. and nate, that is the correct one, mine is black. and i.c., from what i remember on how to git the shift knob off is too take the plastic covering around the shifter off and then the shift knob unclips from the boot.
