if you live where theres no snow, you just have to take speedbumps at angle very slowly or else youll scrape. even then i could sometimes hear the exhaust scrape a bit. oil pan gets pretty close to the ground too

if you live where it snows alot, then it becomes a problem. i was that low for one winter here, obviously alot of snow in winter. the underside constantly scraped on the snow, it was so bad that i ended up rarely driving it and i just walked to work lol

other thing you have to figure out is alignment, might have to use a camber kit or something. after i went that low, i just eyeballed the toe and never touched camber or caster etc. after a few months, one edge of my front tires was completely bald and the other side was like new

Well it snows up here darn near until April, pretty high too. I don't plan on driving it in the winter though. But Where can you find ksports at?

Also do you know how low of a drop intrax are?

I did my first major thing to the car today, i picked up some plastidip from home depot and i painted the roof black (I'm tinting the rear windsheild for a smooth look) and i finished around 10:30pm

i have no idea what the finished product looks like due to it being night time and like a fool i left the lights on and couldnt get inside because the door was masked shut. So, it's just sitting down a dirt road. I'll need a jump from my dad tomorrow and i'll see if it looks good!

Looks very clean even on those stock 15s. Do you reckon 17" 6-spokes would look better with ksports?

As you can see here, the bottom of the skirts and front/rear bumbers were fading pretty badly. Also, i hate that yellow strip with the baby blue. So , i restored the skirts to black along with the bumpers. Then i plastidipped the door trim white, whilst blacking the window trim out.

So i bought a couple cans of plastidip and came out with this result

I also blacked out the chrome around the tailight.

i should really look into this plasti dip stuff and do all my chrome trimming and save all money from ordering new trim pieces from the dealer instead.

Do it man. The results are literally mind boggling. I did the roof with a CAN in 17mph wind outside, once it dries it levels out pretty darn good.

The car is at the local auto shop and it seems they're trying to charge $1200 for a timing belt and a water pump!
