Thanks everyone. I do like the debadged look. Might have to add to my list. Wouldn't mind losing the rear spoiler too.

As far as the paint, the PO worked from home and apparantly did not mind leaving bird crap on the paint. The hood, roof, and trunk are a bit beat up, stone chips all over the hood, and the plastic piece running between the roof line and doors is fading. My crappy camera makes it look cleaner than it really is LOL

Very nice PMIRO2, clean looking wheels and nice stance.

What kinda problems would you run into if you were to lower the front some more?

I plan to get some coilovers soon and I've been reading that if you want to tuck the entire tire you will have to cut the top part liner in the fender well and possible make some more room for the UCA so it doesn't bang against the metal.

Thanks. I had to raise the front up a bit b/c it pulled the fender trim off when I was going into my driveway. Probably could remove it altogther, but still wanted to raise it a bit. I did have to cut the passenger side liner a bit, but keep in mind, I am on 20s.

I meant it keeps things fuzzy enough to hide the flaws
