^ I've never done it but i have read where ppl take a heat gun to the letters and use dental floss or fishing line to remove the letters. Then if there is some glue residue, take some goo goo gone or something similar to remove residue, then buff out the ghosting of the letters.
Please feel free to chime in if there is an easier process or if i mistated this.

For those that are shopping for coilovers here are the three that i considered and a quick snapshot of their features.
Function & Form II Went with these cause I heard they could go low, in stock and couldn't pass up the group buy.
- One year warranty
- 12k/ 8k spring rate
- 32 levels of damping
Stance lx These were a lil more expensive but considered them cause they were considered the comfy line of coilovers and heard they could go low.
- Warranty info wasn't listed that i could find
- 11k/ 10k spring rate
- 15 levels of damping
BC BR Series 1st choice but the were out of stock
- One year warranty
- 10k/8k spring rates
- 30 way levels of damping

I was supposed to reply to Wannabe6MT's. /facepalm
This info is all the more valuable, however. Thanks.

^ would have considered them but i got some other wheels.
Coilover adjustment log for coupe 19’s (225/40/19 in front and 245/40/19 in the back). I’m sure more changes will come when I get the new wheels.
3/10: Initial drop
Front fender to ground 25.5, dampening 12 clicks from firm
Rear fender from ground 24, dampening 10 clicks from firm
3/11: Went down another .75 up front
Front fender to ground 24.75, dampening 12 clicks from firm
Rear fender from ground 24, dampening 10 clicks from firm
3/11: After driving out to a meet realized that the above setting was too low. Scraped the exhaust on big dips and was rubbing fenders well when I turned and hit dips. Went 7 clicks stiffer on dampening, can’t really tell a difference.
Front fender to ground 26, dampening 5 clicks from firm
Rear fender from ground 24, dampening 10 clicks from firm

^Ooohhhh that sucks!
I always change the oil myself. It takes so long to drain all the oil out, you're not getting a very good oil change if a shop does it anyway.
Be glad the splashguards were there to take the brunt of damage instead of messing up the sideskirt. But it is starting to get more difficult to find them.
