Down to meetup and chill anytime. We need to get a meetup going one of these weekends!!
Looks clean man, dropped at all? Just need some tints to go with that awesome IP paint

Lookin sharp! Came crazy close to picking up a LR coupe out of Fairfield a few months back. What're you dropped on btw? I'm trying to decide on what to lower my new G with
Edit: I remember now, I was going to try and buy those coilovers from you but I was gone for too long. Looks great either way

Thanks, It had Tein street basics when I bought it. I recently sold 'em, as you noted. They were too stiff for what I like and I don't track the car. The wheels are Volk 19" Time attack, riding on 245/275 Bridgestone S-04 Pole positions.

If I were lowering I'd chose a set that had more adjustments than just spring pre-load, like the basics did.

Hey! Nah-- not dropped, just the 19" rays. Feels pretty low already. And thanks for the compliment!! I've always liked IP, looks sweet in certain lighting. I was also interested in the black color so I could murder it out, but figured it may be tough to keep clean.

Future plans (within the next month or so should be): Window Tint, Z-Tube, K&N Drop In Filter, Popcharger, Oil Catch Can and maybe an OPT7 underbody lighting kit as well. Looks sweet.

Just a tip for a better shot - unless you are shooting a tire ad in which case the shots would be arranged differently, turn your wheel the other way next time so you can get the face of the front wheel into the shot. The face of the front wheels should always be angled towards the camera, if not directly facing it.

Because we know cars have four wheels, seeing two wheels per side in pictures will appear more correct, basically a psychological trick to make the shot and the car itself look better. The wheel also helps fill in the unsightly empty space in that front fender.

I just bring this up because after taking the time to meticulously park the car and pose it to a background of your liking, it sucks not getting the best picture possible because you did not understand which way to turn the wheel.

Cooks Collision-- looks like there is one close to Napa, does good work.

However, since most customers are there for insurance repair work their estimates tend to be on the high side.

Heck yea! We should work on organizing a meet-up-- would be a good opportunity. Anybody have ideas for a good location? We'll give plenty of lead time so plans can be set aside
