    I like the overall look, the guages aren't very contrasty though, it's hard to read the #'s... but that could be the camera?

    well unfortunatly lowering it waaaayyyy out of the picture for me, i rounded up the cost to well over $600 and thats becasue i cant put these the struts on myself and would have to have a shop do it, the tires are already only 15" , the muffler i actually got off of Fleabay for about $40 shipped. My next mod i think will be CIA, then Headers and highflow cat. i need to do my plugs wires and distributer also. But like i said the lowering will be out of my grsp even though thats one of the things i wanted to do the most. (sucks not knowing anyone that can do this crap)

    Agreed, everytime I took mine off it was damp and full of stones that scratched the paint.

    Edit: Didn't you put that on to cover up damage?

    You Can lower it yourself.

    The only thing that you may have a problem with is loading the strut into the spring, but that you can take to a shop and they can load the struts into the springs for you. After that all you really is some basic tools, Jack stands and a jack and your in.
    Hope this helps

    i know the bra is not the best for the paint guys but i have good reason for it, if you look at my car domain site you will notice that i have some front end damage that i haide in most of my pictures, this includes damages to the hood. The main point of the bra was to hide that hood damage.

    I've never been a fan of bra's but the black/white contrast makes it stand out, great job on the car

    I used to have a bra...don't miss it...but it looks halfway decent and will save your paint from rock chips.

    if u want to lower it right with the best things, it will cost more. but if u really wanted to lower it, get some cheap springs or coilovers, if u need help doin it, i can tell u everything o do, it is reaelly easy and uses simple hand tools, except spring compressors which u can rent for sheap.
