Post Teins installed

i guess i decided to post some before and after pics of my car with teins installed. im not a photographer so the pics suck. and yes my car and rims are dirty and yes i need paint. but im in the process of all that now. the car had been sitting for a while before the install, lug nuts rusting, paint chipping over the wheels.
before



after

Yeah, see if you can get some better pictures. It's pretty dark and you can't really appreciate the drop w/ those pix imo.

Post daytime

Yeah i finally got to get some daytime pics. i also did a little test fitting with my bodykit. the rear lip was almost perfect on the passenger side. the driver side was a different story. the inner lip was way to bulky and i had to grind down allot to get it near fitting to wear i wanted. i didnt finish because i felt myself not taking my time as i was in the beginning and i dont want it sloppy. after i wrapped up messing with the rear i test fitted a side and took some pics.

yeah i know about the paint and the fender, fender is in the mail. and paint will be right after i finish my kit install.
