Tuterz great job. What happened to the window tint though?

Has the ride become harsher now that its so much lowered?

Man looking good, I still want one! I want to put my air and rims from my 400 on the 430 though. You think 19x9 et-6 and 19x10.5 et-6 would fit on a 430?

Default coilover install?

Did you install your coilovers? Did they make the rise stiffer? How is the ride? Body roll? I ask because I am considering puting Tein Comfort Sport Coilovers, but I have heard these make the ride stiffer, which is not what I want. -Lex

they are coilovers. at this height the ride is very stiff .. not alot of body roll. it was pretty comfortable at about 2 inches higher than this.. also with a 225/35/19 tire, the ride is a little rough too.. i think it wouldn't be so bad if i had a taller side wall ..

picture from today.. its pretty low..

So, how hard was the wrap process? Costs? Thoughts for someone that is thinking about doing it?

everything cost less than 500 bucks.. it was frustrating at first but once you got the idea.. it was easy...
