Finally lowered with MT lip. (PICS)
Well I finally got the MT front lip installed and painted. I also recently lowered the max on Tein S-techs with Tokico Illumina's.

As for the rims, I'm probably gonna upgrade next spring. I want 19's but still chrome. I understand alot of people don't like chrome, but thats just how I roll.

Buhling! Nice work. Not much for the rims myself, but that lip looks excellent. Man, I assume you photoshop'd these shots? I've never seen so many perfect bursts in one shot.

Why are so many people concerned about clearance with the lip ? !
My cars lowered with Progress springs by about 1.8 inches, and with the front lip, I rarely ever scrape. This is actually the first car I have ever had thats lowered that has a good amount of heigth off the ground. My lowered srt-4 on the other hand, well, that car I have to be more careful with. .

I'm low enough with my stillin lip and maxspeed springs for everyday practical driving. I'm pretty sure this is the first majestic blue max with the MT lip. It looks good, but the MT needs the sides are rear lips to make it match. Sorry man but I'm REALLY not diggin those rims or pinstripe. Throw the stock wheels back on and sell those and buy the sides and rear. I bet a lot more people would be liking this car a lot more without those wheels.

I like the lip without the rest of the kit actually. That would probably be the route I would go as well. As others have mentioned, I'm not overly crazy about the chrome wheels. Some hyper-silver or black may look a bit better.

I dont think its the fact the wheels are chrome, but the type of wheel, and the size. If you enter the chrome world, you have to show taste, so you dont end up with the same ghetto *** chrome everyone else is buying for 200 bucks a wheel.......There are some chrome wheels that will look bad *** on a Max. Lowenhart, Foose, just to mention a few.....

Pinstripe is painted on by dealer so no-go on removing it.
Cost about $300 for install and paint. Bodywork here in Germany isn't cheap.
Anyway thanks for all the comments.......positive or negative

You know, after drinking tonight, was was walking back to my car parked in a lit outdoor parking lot. It looks damn good with the current drop and rim setup. The only thing I didn'g like was the rear. What if I got an ABS Dynamics rear (Stillen lookalike) to so that the rear would be lower and would line up better with the stock sideskirts?
