swapping exhausts....sorry guys...i just had to...the image was just too perfect...

and that "spraypaint" is actually cascade audio dampening that i put on my license plate frame before i took it off. some of it got stuck on the license plate.

I knew something was up when there was only a front shot...

Can you pull the front up on the ramps with the lip?

i couldnt put the front up even when i DIDN'T have the lip....so just imagine now..
and actually, the rears i had to use a peace of wood as a ramp to get onto the real ramps, and it barely got on...PITA...and all this to realize that my greddy bolts are rusted to all hell.....thank god my friend is lending me his compressor...those are gettin shot to **** tomorow nite.

yea, it's hard to drive it, even at it's normal stance now. i have about 4-5 fingers clearance from ground to the bottom of the lip.

K Pazz: no, i didn't bottom out. actually, i'm about 1/4-1/2" away from touching the ground. didn't realize anything till i got outta the car. i didn't hear anything anyway, so i'm sure i didn't bottom out. now...it doesnt' really matter, cause the underpart of the lip doesnt have much paint left anyway...j/k...well sorta. it's already scratched up to all hell.....

btw, this is what i'm installing today as soon as i get home from work...

Mac: not tired of it...but looking for a sleeper look. the FC they said was very very quiet, and i want that. plus the dual tips look pretty nice. everyone else says i'm dumb for gettin rid of the greddy. it gave the car a nice tone. we'll see.

Polak: thanx for the pics. you can already see how scratched up i am in one of those pics. but hey, it's a look that i like. i plan on movin to miami in a few years, so i'll be able to really enjoy some smooth roads

Yeah, I like FC much better than Greddy, but I wish they have variable output like OEMs.

Mr Marco,
How have your coilovers held up? Any corrosion over the winter with those things in NY?

ChromeSE5: prolly cause i got no gap, so for 16's, it actually blends in. you really need to see the car to understand how low this thing is...i'm not slammed, but i'm tuckin in the back and just barely tucking in the front, and that's only with 50% drop all around.

Maximilion: what pics...of the exhaust. man, if you only knew. i got into work yesterday (friday) at 8am. left the office at 10:30 just to go to bed, wake up at 6, and i'm back here (right now, 7:15AM) in the office till god knows how late. and if we're not done with these stupid drawings, i'll prolly be here (along with the rest of the team) all day sunday. now..i PLAN on finishing today, which means this exhaust should be done sometime tonite or tomorow.

Mick Max: the coils have been holding up great. i'm already used to the ride, but everyone that sits in the car says the car doesn't feel like it's inches from the ground. it's still got the stiffness/stability of a lowered car..i get *some* hoppiness, but i guess that's expected. but the feel is out of this world. it feels like i'm riding on stock suspension on stock height. so soft. corrosion-wise, i got under the car thurs. nite to start the exhaust removal and shined the light on my suspension and other than being dirty, everything else is holding up great. not one sign of corrosion. it has to be the best money ever spent on my car. it's handled like it's expected, ride like i wanted it to, and looks as low as i wanted it to, with capabilities of going much much much lower. i'm about 90% sure if i did lower the car, i can get it to look like my first picture
