Default Darby's F cleaned and lowered

Springs have settled, figured i would clean her up and take some pics.. Im happy with the drop in front, I wish the rear was a little lower.

Looks really good. Are they swift springs? The stance looks just right. Do you drive it through the winter? I'd imagine Vermont gets its fair share of snow and ice each year.

not crazy about it, I don't know, it seems like all the classyness the car had is gone.

matte black just doesn't work for it, sorry!! Reminds me of a teenager doing all the possible cheap mods to his civic.

I think it looks great. Simple and clean, and you definitely have some nice exterior mods that don't take away from the car itself.

They are swift springs. I drive my 06 F350 diesel in the winter. The F will get a car cover in the next month or so.

Thanks for your opinion, I like blacked out grill and emblems on silver, car still has all the chrome trim around the windows. I like the matte faces on gloss hard wear with polished stepped lips... thats why i had them custom built that way. I wanted a monster japanese rwd race car, i dont care if people think im classy, i wouldnt have put an F on my plate if i did

i thought that was the eurotek, looks very good. very nice piece. with you being on those springs, do you have good clearance on the bottom of the car? i would be scared to smash up such a nice piece of cf .
