If you're feeling thorough one day, the whole thing unplugs by the passenger kick panel. Either way, looks good man, could be a little lower IMO

I was going to do the whole unplug the harness and relocate thing but this looks like a much easier way. Thanks lol. I hope this is as effective as relocation.

Looks good!
Don't worry about the wave in the fender roll, doing it is the best way to learn!

In the NOVA area, Haymarket more specifically.

I got the idea from someone who commented in this write-up (too lazy to search)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...elocation.html

Make sure you put the zip tie "square" on the top otherwise you'll rub and break it (ask me how I know lol) Probably wanna tape it down if you can too just to be safe.

Wheels are looking good if you go a lil lower which you should unplug that harness and run it through the engine bay along the fender

lol no way I can go any lower with these coils.....I still rub when I make a sharp turn and hit a bump. I think the spring rates are a little soft but I'm not complaining it's actually nice for a daily car.

**** MOTHER NATURE! Huge *** tree fell on my car and broke my taillight.......Its cheaper to buy a single taillight then to pay my deductible so I just picked up another ****ing bill. I have had enough financial set backs recently so this really put a damper on my night. The tree wasn't moveable by myself, I guess me and my dad will try tomorrow morning before we leave for the beach. I had to pull my car up to see the damages.....although I'm glad it wasn't any worse, I'm still blown it didn't hit the loaner car my dad has while his car is in the shop

Sorry for the horrible quality pics

Hoping my comprehensive deductible is cheaper than my usual $250. Taillights are expensive but thank god it wasn't worse though!
