if the ends on that strut bar are black then it used to be mine, I sold a guy my old springs and strut bar a long time ago, he used to post here, was a good guy who helped me during my Sema build. He also came through at the last minute when I couldn't find one of my door panel switch panels. (still can't find it to this day, must have gotten thrown away or something 
)
Took a couple of phone pics from our meet last night, hadn't really sunk in how low I'm sitting until I was parked next to Spencer's R3 last night....yikes lol The last pic is my new headlights I tinted using the "blue" laminx, so stoked on how these turned out, they weren't that hard to wrap and now they won't get trashed as quickly as being unprotected.

Got any daytime pics of the LaminX? Mine are jacked, they look good for a bit after i have the worked on but come back in a few months. I saw a MS3 with lightly tinted laminX and it looked good.

I got a little freaked out when I was wrapping them in my room, but now that they've cured a bit and I've seen them in daylight they're really not that noticable, I think you can tell a bit but they look natural to me. I guess the stock lens kinda' gives off a little blue anyway (well my new ones seemed to anyway, my old ones were turning yellow...ugh) and these seem to compliment that a bit.

Yeah I was thinking about getting news ones but damn they are expensive.
I hoping wrapping mine after a good restoration will look good. Did you use a heat gun?

Anyway, yes, used a heat gun, it took me a bit the first light I did, but once I got used to working with the film I noticed that stuff stretches and wraps really nice, I had done the tail lights in solid red too but I wound up pulling it off as I didn't like the way it looked. I have the film for the fog lights too but I've not put it on as I just didn't feel like it's necessary, I'm really happy with the yellow I get off the factory multi tint.

After I parked I thought you were still running the air suspension. I stuck my foot under the front lip and it touched the top of my sandal. It's a bit less than a soda can.

yeah, I might have to raise it up a hair, I think I might consider it when I get it aligned, there's a place in town called soulspeed that is supposed to be pretty decent, they do a lot of higher end cars here in town so mine should be a walk in the park.

I checked out their website, impressive.
You would choose this place for $90 vs. say Bridgstone's lifetime alignment? Perhaps this is one of those quality over quantity situations.

Yes I would as I feel more comfortable knowing they probably know what they're doing, and they're going to recognize the mods done to my car, they're going to know about my endlinks and coilovers, they're certainly going to recognize the value of my wheels and will be more likely to be more careful with my car in general. I've had to have tires switched out at places like Discount tire before, those guys treat my car just as if it's just some every day camry or something, they marked up my wheels last time, they didn't take the time to raise/lower the car right and one of my skirts landed on a jack etc. I wasn't as low then but still, it's the principle of the whole thing, I would rather have a small specialist and local shop do the work, then a chain filled with tire monkeys who are solely interested in seeing how many cars get done each day. These guys race, they do corner weighting, they even do small stuff like adjusting the coilovers etc., they're fellow enthusiasts so I'm more than happy to go there.
