LOL, cause I haven't figured out exactly what I want to do with my trunk yet. And I keep spending my audio money on other mods.

SPC rear camber kit w/toe bolts:


And finally got around to dropping the front end down an inch to match the rear;


Any help on what tire size and spacers I need would be appreciated. Wheel specs are: Front 19 x 8.5 +38, Rear 19 x 9.5 +42. Just got new 235/19 for the fronts. Should I go with 15/20/25mm spacers? and I Have 275/30 on the rears but they need replaced. What size should I get and should I get spacers for them as well?

theyre actually dark bronze (matte faces, gloss lips with metallic);

They do look better in person and during the daytime too. Ill probably refinish them in the spring before I sell them and get something different

Took my mudguards off today. They were catching hell on a couple bridges on my daily route, especially after lowering the front another inch which left them 1.5" from the ground.

Last car I had lowered they ended up pushing up and breaking through the sideskirts
Pretty sure I wouldn't hear the end of it from the wife if I let that happen with the G.... although it would give me a reason to get new sideskirts

I hate the front splash guards, but love the rear ones. Go figure

Seems like the only installs I have to do are repair installs. Still haven't taken care of my front lower control arm bushing, and it's been a year I think, haha. I think very few people know what my car actually looks like right, 7 total from the forums. Once I get my front springs installed I'll snap a few pics.

But since it's a pic thread I'll provide a pic. Here's something that needs replacement....



So basically this is on my to do list:
- Front lower control arm bushing
- Rear end links
- Install OEM front sway bar & swap rear Hotchkis with OEM so I can sell my F&R Hotchkis
- New rear bumper (thank b*tch who can't drive)
- Rubber roof mounting on driver side
- Headliner & a pillars in velvet since I took off faux mink
- Harness for driver side O2 sensor to ECU

There's actually more but I'm not too worried about it, like new front bumper, new front fenders, new oem headlights, all because of broken tabs from being too low from before. I miss the look, the feel, but not the headache.

Took my car back to Eric at Baus Auto for additional custom headlight work. We changed the Machine Gun shrouds from Teal to Blue, replaced the 6k HIDs with 8k on top, and modified the turn signal to light up hyper white and blink Amber



I also asked him to wire up a rear fog light in the reverse lamp. Lights up Red when parking lights are turned on, and turns white when put in reverse. Here's a quick picture, ill have better ones soon.....



I had left over Bride fabric, so I also asked my friend Rick to make me a custom Bride car seat for my son. Black Suede, Red Stitching, and Gradation Bride Fabric.

PM me If you need custom interior work done at a good deal


Here's a before and after picture. My son is rolling in style

I took off my front end to inspect a broken projector. Sending it back to r1 for medical assistance. My car = cyclopse.

went out...came back on for a few days...now out completely. All wiring looks good and tested a new bulb. Nothing. Gonna check the fuse later today, but I think there is either a wiring harness or ballast issue. I am not the best electrician, so sending it back to r1 to be repaired....though a quad set up is intriguing if someone wants to buy my current set up.
