What do you think of my ride? It finally stopped snowing and being horribly crappy outside so I was able to wash the car up nicely and take some pics...lemme know what you think?
By the way...this is only the start. Tires and Rims are going on around April (Once I'm positive it wont snow anymore), and I plan on putting a lip kit on fairly soon (again once it stops snowing)...
A lot more should happen within the next two weeks as next week I have off from school

Rep Power: 0 like i said...I couldnt really do any other body work until the bad weather stopped...I got trigger happy when I first got the car so I just bought the first thing I thought would look cool. If I could go back, I wouldve waited til a did a little more..but whatever, we all make mistakes

I also wanted to do the lip kit before I did the drop..that way I know exactly how far I could go without dragging my bumper on the car...

Rep Power: 434 yes, backing up your driveway makes a HUGE difference. my driveway sits about ~45 degree inclination, so it's hard for even my mom's minivan to make it up without scraping. now imagine how hard it is for me to get up (front lip, 2" drop)

Rep Power: 0 sweet then, I guess that solved that problem....
Next question, is it better to do tires and rims first and coilovers or springs second or the other way around?

Rep Power: 0 Lowering it not only looks better, but also handles better 
. Where a spoiler is only cosmetic, dropping your car will serve to add more fun to your car. Also, you would learn how to drive a lowered car before getting a lip kit; that way, when you finally do get one, you'll already know the tricks of the trade without scratching up your new body mods

LOL, lots of controversy over the wing. I'm inclined to say I like it, only cause mine's only a little smaller than that. Ok, so maybe the big wing fad is over but I still think it looks good. I don't think anyone out there actually things a big wing is a speed advantage, that's always the first burn us bigger spoiler guys get. Its just a look we like, not unlike a decal or a body kit. If it would stop snowing and raining here for a couple of days, I could wash the car up, post some pics, and you could all start bashing MY wing!
