Thanks man! Nice! What r u thinking of getting?
Thanks man! =)
Thinking about the same setup u have. First gonna get the springs.. My shocks are still good so I wont replace them until the go bad.

How much drop did it give you. I saw where u had two fingers between the gap. How many fingers is the gap now for the front and back?

Ohhh cool! Right now the front is fine with about half a finger for the gap but the rear still sits high! Might need another half an inch cut on the springmounts! Currently have about 1 and a half finger gap!

Thinking of going 255/40/19 for the rears though so I can maybe get a 5-10mm spacer there and make it a little bit more flush! I have to get different springs though! Looking into RSR or Swift or Tanabe NF210!

Just went to the shop today and told me it was ready:









Had a mini photoshoot outside bank of america! haha!





If you look closely, I have some kind of lip attached underneath the kuruma front! I got these off home depot! The home depot lip posted on here didnt work for me and ripped off so fast so I got these! They are made of hard rubber and are thick enough to take the blow! Costs about $1.89 each and you would just need 2! Just use some double sided tape! I still need to properly cut and align them though!


CS Rear teaser:






Cool shot I got when a bus passed by! Shows the sidemarkers got taken off though! I think that thing was loos and maybe fell off the fwy! These are not the new ones though so good thing I have replacements!




Just need to wash the car and slap on some other stuff before I do a proper shoot! Hehehe!

Not trying to chastise because it might just be the picture, but why does it look like your MG2 trunk and poly CS rear are different shades of LR?

Not chastitising at all man! You got it right! The bumper came out lighter! There have been issues lately due to weather and scheduling and so this one didnt really come out right but they are going to get it repainted to match the paint so its all good!

He actually got it right man! I wish that wasnt the case but sadly it is! Didnt need the hassel and everything! I was hoping everything was done by my bday!

Cool, I'm glad that they are going to fix it up for you. Looks good tho, nonetheless even though it isn't matched perfectly.

I'm going either way on this one. I normally don't like the tinted / smoked / painted (don't know wtf the difference between tinted and smoked is, it all looks black to me) but it can go either way, to me. OEM or dark, it flows good. It is just those side markers that gets me!

Still really like it man! And like I said, visibility in reverse is way better for these lights!

Yea! I just called earlier and hopefully they'll install the show and go tonight too!

Dude you're getting to me already! Dont you know that right now im actually trying to see what happens if I have the whole side marker deleted! I am already on photoshop trying to see if it'll look nice! Hehehe!
