It looks good, but it does need to be lowered!
Two inches is quite dramatic, bye bye speed bumps. lol

I have thought about how stripes would look, nice on there.

How much money have you spent on mods?

You're probably right about the 2", it just needs it bad. I was thinking at work to settle with a 1.5 or so to be realistic. I've only spent a bit over $1k so far..

Nice, not too much money. Yeah I like the Swift Springs, look 'em up, not too low and a good ride, or so they say!

well thank you. it's actually white though :-)

check out my profile pictures for what a 2" drop looks like. it is not crazy scraping the ground low. i would go lower if it didnt require alignment and modifications. plus i still like to be able to haul heavy stuff in case i have to.

Looks like a great start! Will look 10x better once it is lowered.

Got my tint and tip on today! I'll throw up a couple more pics (in the form of an edit) when I get home from work.

I'll be ordering my Tanabe DF210s tomorrow!

Oh, and if anyone knows of some DIY door handle/gas cap removal and paint I'd highly appreciate it; though I'm sure the gas cap is a cakewalk. I plan on trying everything myself before I give in to having it done, but not recklessly. I've also been searching for some sexy Wind Visors/Rain Guards but to no avail..

I'll sell you my Weather Tech RainGuards, although they aren't exactly "sexy" haha.

Good to know that speed bumps can still be cleared!

Nice exhaust tip, was the stock one fun getting off?

It was a pain in the **** and took me about 40 minutes to work it off. It had little gravel bits and dirt build-up between the stock tip and pipe, but persistence pays!

$50 for my two fronts, might go back and get an eyebrow which is $15 more. Good price, imo.
