Thumbs up

Car looks great as always. Your new kit makes it look even sweeter.

Drive very slow, and protect those beautiful rims......Hope to see it at the next meet.

Car looks so good, I really like the kit and roof spoiler and it is interesting to see a nice car without the drop. IMO it doesn't look that bad, good work.

Default Mirrors & Lowering

The mirrors was done in Florida, i saw a gs with the mirrors parked outside a body shop and went in and asked about it, they were able to do it for me, but i try to contact them to replace one of the mirror that my wife cracked trying to park the car in the garage but the phone was disconnected and my cousin who live close to the shop says it is now a car wash.
Now about lowering the ride i would like to but i just do think i can handle all the ramps an sidewalk inclines in NYC, i think i might be touching every time i try to park my car in a garage that would kill me and my kit.... Any suggestion.

Im gonna have to echo some of theother replies, PLEASE lower that car, at least a little bit. If your worried about the scraping, you should go with the eibach combo. It will lower it enough to look nice and agressive, but not too much to be a pain in the a**.

Just go slower and hit them at an angle and you'll be fine. Never try to go head first. One tire at a time.

besides lowering, i would say remove the pinstripe. doesn't match with the lines of the kit. i don't really like the cigarette-protection-rain-shield thing that's so popular in japan, but i guess it's more of a functional item.
