Default Finally, my new pics - lowered.

I finally got around to getting pics of my car after I've had it lowered. I also debadged the trunk and had my new Pioneer Avic-N2 put in.

Lookin to get some wheels, but not for sure what kind/size yet. Thinking of maybe some 18" staggered something. If I could find a deal on something used to start out that might work. My son is expected to be due anyday now and I don't have a lot of extra money laying around. So....... we'll see.

That looks great. A nice set of wheels will definitely set the car off nicely.

I went with the Tein S-Tech and used my stock struts. Not only was the install easy, but they ride pretty good. I was real surprised when I took my fiance's dad for a ride and he even liked it!

nice drop. careful with those springs. spring rate isnt so great with that so people sitting in the rear is going to make it sag a lot.
