Lowered Today
Lowered today and removed the side pinstriping
heres a before picture


Now heres with the pin striping removed and the drops. Dropped on Eibach Sportlines.When the springs set in it should drop a little more. Right now these were brand new so might take a little bit with sag and so on. Oh and I don't care what you have to say about the tail lights. Next weekend they'll be blacked out.

Re: Lowered Today
no - i was concerned about ruining the paint. I have these lame pin stripes on the car and supposely they have been on there when the previous owner bought the car which was in 2001.
Re: Lowered Today
My buddy has an air tool that's similar to a cutting wheel, but with a rounded end that's like a buffer. We used that and it ran right through that pin striping easy, then one more time for the glue and a little rubbing compound and it was good to go.

Re: Lowered Today
looks good to me. As for the rim/tire comments, I think its just because that rim style has a lot of openness to it. What size are the tires?
Picture of tool used?

Re: Lowered Today
how much finger gap do you have, to be honest it looks more like prokit drop. sportline should have no gap or maybe one finger. prokit has 2 finger.
Re: Lowered Today
It looks better than before, that's for sure. But I don't understand why you bought such low profile tires when you should have / could have bought meatier tires to fill up the wheel wells more..
But that's just what I think. Nice car.
