thanks....

The surround grill i had it painted by a local bodyshop for a little money. So far the paint holds up really well.

The front is on full slam but the rear is not. And at this height, i gotta set it at the hardest setting or i'll rub. However, its not that bad, i get used to it after a while and comfort is just one of the things you have to sacrifice for appearance.

In order to do this, did they remove the surround first, and then reinstall it? Did the shop do all the work for you, or did you remove the part and take it in for them to paint, then put it back on yourself?

thanks again.

Wow, great pictures. My driveway has a little bump in it where it goes over the sidewalk (maybe the roots from the tree is pushing the cement up?). . .so there's now way I can drop it unless if I park out it on the street 24/7 =(
