Default Before and After...

Before: clean and fresh.

After: still clean and fresher

Crappy camera phone pics- I promise I'll get some better pics!

Smoked tails

Clear headlights

I finger gap on the front


Rear shot at night

I need to get a shot of the halos...I got them working last night...

Old front-

New Front-


Can you guys see the rear is higher than the front? What do you think, Should I raise the front to match the rear or lower the rear to match the front? BTW the front will rub on bumps the rear is fine...

Lower the front some more til no finger gap, then lower the rear til no finger gap. Lower again til only a credit card can slide between tire and fender. As for the CCFLs...not my style but the high beams look good.

im diggn the headlights- looks really clean with those- beautiful SC- btw it depends how much of a pain in the *** it is with the front that low that its rubbing and hitting things while driving- if it was me I would raise the front a tad- Im suprised the front is rubbing though- it doesnt look that low

Soft spring rate is the culprit. Those sidewalls look thick too.

Not likely...my front spring rate are 800lb springs...It's because I haven't rolled the fenders. If I roll them it'll be perfect in front.

You guys sure do like it low. I can barely get over speedbums now, I wouldn't go lower than it is in the front now...
