i hope you did roll your fenders before painting the car. so since you decided to go white did you do the door jams and the engine bay also ?

i don't think that the fenders were rolled. i haven't seen the car yet. Every part and panel was removed and painted except for the engine bay.

I'll get pics in about two days. The car isn't registered yet. I just got the insurance today and might get plates tomorrow. Its sitting at a friends place right now.

Does anyone know a good shock and spring combination?

Are tokico hp blue/ eibach a good choice?

I'm not interested in how much of a drop, I'm looking for a comfortable and a good performance combo that will go well with 18 inch wheels that won't rub.

If anyone can give some advice, it would be much appreciated.

the retards at the body shop broke my window so I'm getting one this weekend.

Also doing the emblems in black or flat black, what do you think?

Also going to do the side markers in flat black.

Got to get those headlights and fogs cleared up soon.
