That's what PM is for.Quote:

I wish I had the time and resources to do something like this too, and to make it look as good as you have already, nevermind what it'll look like after the cut&buff. If you are interested in a drop, and doing it right, check out the suspension section. Without going into detail, if you want those sprints, be prepared to drop a hefty sum of cash (north of $800) for a set of struts that are built to handle those safely and effectively. Not trying to discourage you in any way, just keeping it real with what to expect to spend.
I had a long post all typed out but theres no need to flog a dead horse. Tokicos and those sprints would be fine. Im living proof of a budget setup that MANY people have seen and can vouch for. If you need any help with anything 86 let me know.
As am I, GC's + Tokicos + top hat mod = ultimate win. Keeps the stiff, loses the "I feel like my car is about to shove its struts through its body" feeling. Relatively cheap too. Used to run Sprints on the Tokicos as well.Quote:

Also i heads up, i know i just painted my car..but i decided to re do it... they just was not up to par with my standards.. it looks fine, just like it rolled out the factory, BUT it looked silver when it hit the sun light and thats not what i want so im going to tint the primer and spray a few more coats of the blue down and get it a bit darker.. :D so ill be doing that this weekend.
also im going to be painting my exterior side pillars black and putting my trim on. and doing my suspension when mushroom toy gets back with me about the springs.. :D
schweet... ...taking pics of a home paint job up close like that takes either ignorance (if someone doesn't know what a paint job is really supposed to look like) or cahones. You, my friend, have some mad painting skills, and that close-up shot proves it. Def post up pics once you respray it.
Shit, wanna fly up to CT with your spray gun and respray my truck for me?
hey feel free to come and repaint my car lol
haha i got me a paint booth with all my stuff so there fore you come to me.. :DQuote:
