Thank you sir. At first, I wasn't feeling the color, but then it grew on me...
Definitely not what I would like for the GS, but they do the job for now. I would really like some Works or Weds... But my pockets ain't deep enough for that right now. It's a slow progress for me. So, I plan to get the spoiler and front bumper, have the bumper, front lip, roof spoiler and trunk spoiler painted and installed. That should stop the modding itch for a little...

On the topic of the rubbing, I'd recommend rolling 4 deep in it sometime before you consider the rubbing solved by stiffening the coils. Before I did some trimming in the wheel wells with the plastic liner, I thought everything was okey dokey but I'd been rolling around solo for a month. The first time I had my in-laws in the car it was downright embarrassing lol. If its slight rubbing now, you oughtta be able to go out there with an exacto knife and a mag-lite for 20 minutes and be sure its solid.

Your absolutely right. That post was a while back, since then, I have rolled my fenders, cut the holes for the upper control arms and cut parts of the fender liner... now it rides like a dream

Here are some updated pics. Got a little bored the other day and decided to install the front lip and window visors... having second thoughts on the roof spoiler... not sure how i like it.. Might go with a different style... that's up in the air right now. ..
Sorry for the pics as the pics were taken from my phone.
Front lip
Visors
And I don't think I ever took a pic of the monitors...
Oh and the fogs... the top picture is just the low beams (8000k). Bottom, is with the low beams(8000k) and fogs(3000k) on...
In regards to lighting I would like to switch the DR'LS to a white LED bulb. Still doing the research on which one I'm going with.

Changed out the spark plugs over the weekend. It was a real pain in the behind as I had to remove the throttle body. But after doing it twice (I had the wires in the wrong order the first time) I think I can do it in less than 30 minutes. I did notice oil in the spark plugs so I guess I'll be doing my valve cover gaskets this weekend. I also did my first headlight restoration. Overall, I did ok. I'm gonna wet sand them and big them again for a better finish. Having los of fun with this car...
