Lookie what I did (pics)

Took several hours. This is only the first step, next is new brakes. The guys at skunk2 posted a bulletin on clearance of their preproduction parts so I took the oprotunity to get some new springs (they just dont have the logos). What you guys think?


(Also painted the calipers)

IMO the perfect drop, exactly what I wanted (cant go too low because its a daily and roads around here suck)

I also wrapped the stock header in header wrap and put a heatshield sheet around the battery just cuz I had some

It will be very close to the same color. I am pretty set on "Chilli Red" (Red found on Lotus Eliese) (kinda like a ferarri red)
