That was the color I was losing sleep over, love that color but the tx heat won so I went with white. No wrap, just painted and the sensors work.
As for the springs, I did the inevitable, and cut them. Couldn't find spring and I didn't want to drive around 4x4 . I have coilovers on all my cars and being honest about it I could not tell the difference in ride quality at all. It's just as smooth and comfortable as when it was the stock ride. Most people cringe at the thought of cutting, me being one of them but I can tell you I would not change anything. I would still get spring when available so I could go lower if possible, as of now I am content
Tanabe is the brand I am trying to get, but no luck as of yet..

Oh nice, what paint did u use and where did u get it from? Im thinking about using that plastidip stuff, but Im afraid itll chip and end up scratching off, so want to have it done by an bodyshop so it wont chip as easily. But looks good tho, close to the concept car.
