Finally got my Racks on-Springs and lip installed!

Well the Thule bike rack, Megan springs and Stillen lip painted and installed. I think it looks great. Just got to my 15mm spacers on the rear.

Does look pretty good ... now you have to remember the lip is on there and watch out for those parking lot stop curbs so you don't scrap the crap out of it.

Nice. You dropped on factory struts?
What brand fogs you got going on down there?

The ride is great with the OE struts. Actually once the factory shocks blow out I'm going for Ghost_54's look. Yours is sitting just right! I got the 400XT feet and 50" cross bars used. Those where like 150. I got a hell of a deal on the cross bars as this setup is normally more expensive. The wife got me the fit kit fairing and the Rockymounts bike mount. Those came from Rackattack.com. Fogs I got from Ebay. Not really happy with them. Had to wire up a relay harness to them and I am not feeling the color. I am searching for a true 2500K bulb. Still waiting on some 15mm spacers for the rear and also like Ghost_54 when these tires take a crap I will be going to a tad wider tire like 235-45-17.

Looks good, im actually thinking of ditching my coupe 19s for some stock 02-03 17s.

Cant take the ride, my local roads are so bad and the tokico/tein S combo just makes me cringe at times..
