Nice score! It's very sweet man!! I bet it's light, and it looks like it had a wing on it too

Took the kyb shocks with the NF210 lowering springs off and put my coilovers on.. finally.

Tools used. various sockets and such, Pry bars, Hammers, jacks, and a FORK LIFT to finish the driver side front. Seriously!

@Golden95SC - What bulbs are those? They look like straight up headlights, I love it.

Not for this vehicle. If I was contemplating any engine mods or swaps it would make the list but that would be for SC #2 (if or when that happens).

Agreed! I've done it before went back to the front. Car feels different with wight in the back, it's less responsive to the handling characteristics of the sc.
Unless you're drag racing or what duck said

Waxed it...again. I don't think that high dollar Meguiars White Wax lasts worth a ****. I don't think I'll ever buy it again.

That's a 100 lb shift front to back. I would assume a fresh alignment is essential afterward to restore proper handling.

I love Klasse products. You might try them if you want it to last.

Also Poorboys paste wax has an incredible shine to it, it's my personal preference.

There 50watt reverse light. I first bought the ones first pictured for $5 but after installing I was mad because they were garbage and literally worse than stocks, so did a little research and found out about 50watters. Went on eBay got a pair for $35 but oh man are the bright!
