Default had to jump on that carson deal

my name's ryan; i've met a few of you at some of the md/va meets. just figured i'd post a few pics, since i've had the kit since before thanksgiving and haven't had the opportunity to install it before this past weekend. that's probably a good thing considering the weather. lol. as my dd, i'm very happy with how things turned out. can't wait to actually clean and take some propper pics. thinking about a roof spoiler and possibly a different grill, and of course some tint. suggestions?

Dang man! car looks great, i think it would look best with just a mild tint like 30-35%, and maybe like 50% on the tail lights or something like that. Car looks awesome though

I love the way the car looks Ryan! I know everyone says that they want to do a 3GS, me included. Looking forward to the White Marsh Meet and definitely check out Carlisle. Even if you only come for Saturday it will be worth it, you will be hooked from then on.

I would go with a darker tint. I did 35% on mine and I wish I did 20%. You will get used to it and want it darker.

thanks bronson. we need to have a nap town mini meet for dinner or something. try to get malik, al, smitty and everyone out. maybe the japanese steak house or chevys or something. maybe that thai place on west street. who knows; just ready to get out. lol.
187 - i'm liking the ride height, but i still need to do a few fender mods to get the fittment where i want. i think spacers are needed both front and rear. other than the vibrations we've all been having, the ride is quite good for being that low. i see you have the carson kit as well. did you get the full kit, or just the front lip? shoot me a pic once you get it installed.
thanks for the good words guys!
