^quality of the hood seems fine to me. theres only a slight vibration towards the vent thats closest to the windshield but thats only around 75-80mph on the highway, other then that it seems completely fine to me. I pretty much figure that the vibration is just caused by the air going through the vents at the front of the car and then having nowhere to escape to at the very last vent, nothing to be too worried about

i wouldnt say so, it does flex in the middle if you push down on it pretty decently but i figure if i ever run into any problems down the road then i will find a way to stiffen up/brace the middle section of the hood to make it better.

ha thanks man, i wouldnt mind going about half an inch lower but dont really feel like swapping out the springs and spending the $ on coils just to go half an inch lower, besides as i sit right now i can still actually get into everywhere around town without scraping

thanks man, i sat here and photoshopped the color numerous times trying to see how they would look exactly once the car was finished at the shop and needless to say they worked out perfectly

I used to say the same thing bro.. But that half inch makes a WORLD of difference in the look of your car.. You think you're in love w/ her now.. but you're right.. less room for the wheels to travel when you hit bumps, less under car clearance.. it's definitely something to consider.. I wish I'd have gone coils from the beginning.. Just the added versatility.. If you don't like it, you can always raise it back up..

ya sometimes it would be nice to have the ability to slam the car or raise it back up when i feel like it, the whole reason i went with the gf210's was because i had them left over from my 350z. i think right now that if i were to go anymore than half an inch lower that i definitely wouldnt be able to make it into most places around town as thats about how much room i have for ground clearance up front

Yeah.. that random "OH ****" butt clenching moment.. man when I get to where I'm going my legs are so tired from trying to stand up in my seat and clinching my a$$.. you know how it is whenever you see you're about to hit a bump.. Like that's gonna make the car lighter or something. LOL!!!

ha i know exactly how you feel when you know theres no way that youre not going to hit the bump and theres nothing you can do about it, thats about the time that i normally just turn the radio up a little bit louder and try not to listen to it
