I'm curious to see on how it'll look. I have yet to see a Ultrasonic Blue Mica with a Wald kit with the accents painted in dark gray.

It looks like that InspireMe will have the weekend to work on it

And this past Monday I had to remove my front fender liners all together since I'm lowering the front more to match the rear and the fender liners are apparently sharp at the edges

Fsport parts from Sewell came to the door yesterday; springs & sway bar set. I know, I know, springs aren't low enough and I should have done coils, which might happen later. My car is a daily driver so I wanted to go with a subtle drop for now to see how it rides as I also have some 19" Vossens getting put on this Friday.

CCJ... your ride is lookin good I use to live by the words of "if sparks don't fly, it's too high", that drop and those Stance wheels look sweet... I was debating between those and the CV3's.

For $290 I figured it was worth a shot... Very happy with my decision! Sounds great, Looks Great, Fits Great.

19x9.5 front
20x10 rear

I know, at first it looked weird but now that I'm slammed it looks decent

LOL I was expecting a response like this:



And agreed. You're help is the reason why I'm as low as I am. Couldn't have done it without you sir!

One facing out back
one facing in front of car

I also just got done ordering two more. One facing from the front towards interior. The other from the rear facing towards interior but I'm gonna crack that one open so that I can extend the SD card to be placed in a hiding place inside my car. Thus if a car thief decides to steal the cams I will at least know what he looks like (less he has a mask on) that way the police can run his face through database and I can also put him on blast via youtube.
Either that or I'll crack it open and attempt to solder a remote IP connection to it. This will be harder and not sure if I will be able to pull it off since I've never cracked one open before. But my car is a rolling wifi hot spot (just ask the So FL crew) so tapping the remote IP to have 4g/3g connection won't be difficult. It's the soldering of the internals that will be hard.
Time will tell.

Interesting I look forward to seeing the final product. Do you know if theres a way to run the video feed of the cam to your Navi? I was wanting to get a cam and mount it in front behind my lip where I had cut out and inserted a grill. My idea was to be able to see whats in front of me as far as potholes, and parking etc. Many times I've let my gf drive my car and she almost hits the curb when pulling in.
