i am not a silver fan but that looks good. I would actually consider silver now. I am a die hard black car guy though. If you painted your side skirts it realy makes silver look alot better. I just did it and it only cost me 175.

Painting the side skirts were going to be my next project but i've been to about 3 body shops and all of them have told me not to waste my time because the paint will not hold good at all on the ruff surface of the stock side skirts.....thanx

they are supposed to prep the sideskirts and sand it down first, i've had my skirts painted for almost 2 years and it's holding up pretty good. The paint isn't coming off other than the part that's right behind the front two wheels and even there it's not all that bad.

Yes my car is only using the Perrin springs. And yes, they are 1.9 drop in the front and 1.5 in the rear. It gave the car a cleaner drop then any other lowering s[pring I could find. The ride is so much fun...

I love the drop. It gives the car such an aggresive look. I have also not had any problems with them. No rubbing or anything like that. But eventually when the time is right, I will plan on adding coil-overs. Just havent decided on a brand yet, or what type I want

I love the car but hate the wing risers. I suggest you get rid of those and paint ur side skirts and it will look much cleaner.

If i get rid of the wing and risers, wont I need to get a new trunk? Ive seen people try to plug the wholes before but im not sure how great that works. Also if anyone knows any good body shop/paint shops in the NJ area, let me know.

Try and swap trunks with someone. Im pretty sure if you just take the wing risers off, youll be able to put the wing back on with no holes or anything like that.
