need a wash tho, but i hate the winter in san jose, never know when its going to rain.

all comments are welcome. what do you guys think?

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

how much u droped by???
it doesnt look much

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

can't tell the difference to be honest.

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

nice grill.. hmm.. the drop seems more obvious in the rear than in the front.. are u dropping with springs?

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

paint the grill..trust me it will look 10X better. I painted mine, and its pretty easy. Just look for a rattle can of SSM and get paimer and all that fun stuff and do it.

NICE! ANOTHER NORCAL SEDAN!!! WOOHOO!

haha. now i'll be looking for you at our infamous meets! so infamous, no one knows that we have them!

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

yeah i know, i dont have any good pictures from before it was lowered to show the difference, and its only an inch and a half drop. but in person its you can tell, and it drives better. i lowered it with tanabe springs.
and as far as the grill, ever since i got it i've been debating with myself if i should paint it.

maybe this pic will show it better.

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

where are the after pictures it all looks the same

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

theyre right there.. if u cant tell a difference then youre blind... hey another nice thing u can do is change out the front hood molding thing to an ssm one.. or paint urs.. the chrome is an offset..

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

yeah i cant tell.

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

i can tell

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

Might be the stock rims but the gap looks the same as mines(Stock), but from the before/after you can tell a difference. Looks good tho :tup:

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

it's probably the steelies. When I posted pics of my drop, nobody could tell until I got my rims on. The skinny ass tires are decieving

maybe that will help to show it.

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

thats better...remember it needs a few weeks to settle too

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

a few weeks? i finished it last sat, the 17th, how long should i wait to get it aligned?

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

can't even tell you dropped it. Sorry mang! what brand and "drop?

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

I waited close to a month...what springs nad struts and camber correction stuff do you have

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

its a nice subtle drop. i like it. i agree on painting the lip of the grille. what other plans do you have for the car?

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

tanabe 1.5"

and as far as suspension, when i have more money i want to spend some money on sway and strut bar.

want a CAI.

oem lip kit i think. and tint and remove the amber from the head lights, just all chrome. i think i keep changing my mind. we'll see ill update when i do something.

Re: Finally lower my 03.
 

sounds good man. lip kit and tints are going to make a big difference in the appearance. definitely keep us posted.
