Default painted suspension.......UUHHGG!!

K...who hates that stupid silver front suspension piece thats totally visable from a side angle view of your car?? its pretty visable on a RWD car, and even more so on an AWD vehicle. while i was painting my calipers yesterday, i sprayed that piece flat black cuz its always bothered me!! just venting sorry!! Heres a couple pics.

That's pretty nice.

I think if you lower the car, they go away too

yeah...your pretty much right. when the car is lowered a little bit, you can barely even see them. as you can tell by the pics, i already had the Tanabe NF's installed and was rollin' it that way for about a week. Unfortunately im so damn **** about stuff like that it was still bothering me. Had the wheels off anyway! Scotchbrite, newspaper, masking tape, and flat-black spray paint!.......10 minutes!
