I know, I just got the car
I had to Insure it, Register it, then Inspect it first.
Thats the very next thing is clearing up the lights, I swear

Ps: Moosjaw, not the look (but I assume you're joking).
See Post #1; I included a pic of the Soarer I saw with these.

Okay lemme ask ya' this also...
I think what most people are tellin' me (even off the forum), is that it's too loud for a stock car; in other words that it's not so "ugly" per-se, but that it's only befitting on a souped-up vehicle, otherwise it's ricey; kinda like a "wing" on a FWD car ... Am I correct?

If so, then what if I drop it on Coilovers?
If it'll look better in that case, then I may as well just suffer with 'em on until I get coilovers, which is like a month away only. (Only reason I don't wanna re-do them, is 'cus I cut 'em by eye/hand. It wasn't easy to make them appear symmetrical, without a template).

I thought he tinted the sides too.

If that's not it then I guess I'm missing it...

It's not ugly but i'm not a fan ether. Doesn't flow very well with body lines. Aggressive eye lids are better but only with heavily modified cars.

So take 'em off, or simply hurry-up and buy coilovers?

Personally I dont think its hideous, 1 you dont see many cars like that and 2, its YOUR sc.. If you did what everyone else likes, itd just be your car with everyone elses mods. I think it gives it personal independent style. I'd personally much rather pull up to 5 sc's all looking different, then to pull up to 5 of them all being lowered, with stock head lights, etc etc. And Idk maybe just me, but itd take some serious ugly mods to make an SC look bad, what hes done is prefectly fine for me, but thats just my opinion hahaha

if you like it, go for it, its your car. most these people shut down anything they havent seen and are comfortable with. which is why i stopped trying to ask their opinions on my build -__-
