Lower it for sure...but after that you should def go with a lip kit.


Or...you could just sell me your CF hood

I was just trying to get a grip on how low I thought you should drop but if it snows there you don't want to go too low or you'll snow plough everywhere you go...haha. I have a 1.75" drop and I can still get my winter tires in there no problem. The car isn't going out anymore in the snow though...I added a body kit and now my ground clearance is too low for snow.

I'm getting a winter beater soon

A 1.75" drop will be fine. I'm betting you don't get as much snow as we do here..haha. My dealer was ok with the warranty but if you want you can complain of sounds coming from the front end and bring it in one last time to make sure the struts aren't blown....if they're good then lower da biatch..hehe.

Do you have winter wheels and tires (ie. Stock wheels/tires)

Slam it then get a lip kit.

Your car is awesome, but I'm biased since I have a silver sedan too.

oh yeah, thanks for showing me what the projectors and cf hood look like, I definetly want them now.

Don't slam that ****. You'll regret it in the winter. Believe me. Been there done that. Especially in our area (MD).

Definitely drop it next. I think lowering a car should come before body/lip kits. It'll give you a feel for what it'll look like a little better, IMO. Meaning, before you lower it you might want an agressive look and afterwards want something less agressive with the drop. Just my $0.02.

Nice look, though. And I agree with the "tails" suggestion. Stock is nicer.
