this actually got me thinking...should i go with h-tech springs or progress..i really like the drop on you car..but im still thinking if the rear is really lower..it looks decieving..im afraid if i put a system in the trunk and people in the back seat..then the rear will deff be lower..but i like the progress set up a lot

If ya have a system, it may appear to sag in the back then... I have nothing in my trunk... literally, not even the cargo net (well, the spare is in there)... the H-Techs are a great looking drop and plus I heard they ride real nice too... all the best with your decision.

Thanks for the compliments SUNY and DABOX... sometimes I wish I had some nice rims though... but it would ruin my sleeper status and weigh me down...

Can't tell if you're kidding or not... but that is the stock shift **** that comes with the 6-speeds...

Well, since you asked for more 5.5 gens, check out my sig fro MIR (I think you may have been there...). Anyway, I know you've seen my car, but others here may not have. Painted engine cover and grill (the DC crew rags on it because they're all jealous!). Adding the front lip and lowering springs this summer.

I wasn't there... but I've seen your sig a lot consider how much you post *****... haha...

Once you're all lowered and kitted out, start a thread as well... or just do it now and update it later....

Btw, the Injen needs to painted body color too... stands out too much there...

2000-2001 = 5th Gen

2002-2003 = 5.5th Gen

2004-2005 = 6th Gen

Mine is a 2002 or 5.5 Gen... and no, ya couldn't put that shifter on a 5th Gen cuz they only came in 5-speeds, and mine is a 6-speed. I guess technically, if the shift **** fits, you could, but it doesn't go since 5-speed /= 6-speed.

Btw, check out the 5th Gen forums sometime, esp the Stickies at the top of the page... you'll learn a lot there...

Btw, Man74 and Metal Maxima... those are some nice rides... you should start your own threads, you'd probably get more comments rather than sharing this thread with my stock-looking Max...

Yup, I sold my GReddy, now I have the Frankencar... I love it... the Cattman/Mossy is nice too, sounds more aggressive...

I like the way the franencar LOOKS, but you cant really hear it. If the franken car sounded the same (or deeper) then my greddy, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I know... its taken me a while to get used to the Frankencar... I'm actually still contemplating getting a Cattman rear section instead...

Raising this thread back from the dead....

Some people wanted to see pics of the PIAA Ion Crystal Yellow fogs with the OEM HIDs, so here they are.



Anyone have suggestions as to how to take good night pics with less glare (short of getting a new camera/filter)? I might try going to a lit parking lot to take some pics, people always seem to get nice pictures of their headlights there.
