Other than that looks good!

I am, the whole car is going in the body shop in the spring.

Shaving quite a bit of the non so lovely seam lines and spraying the whole car flint mica again as well as going to anzo reds instead of these... They looked a lot better when I had black rims but now I just want either anzo reds or stockie reds again...

I have a 2004 AP2 S2000 and a 2001 GSR that have taken up all of my attention this year however thankyou for the feedback!

I believe those are the tails you have with a red overlay over most of the light.

Nah, those are most likely just red anzos, though they could be overlayed, but not worth it. Though if I was OP, i would spray those clear anzos to make them look like the red ones.

One of my favorite tc's. I just wish you had the same amount of camber/tuckage at driving height as you do when you're aired out.

I'm actually tinting red anzos when it goes to the body shop so it will have a nice maroon look... Seen it over red tails before looks gorgeous. As for you mr hayseed this car hasn't been touched after i put the work into the body when the BBS RS came in ;)

It actually needs a ton of body work now... puppy jumped on my lap moving the car through a tight parking lot last night and did... well lets just say i need to repaint the door, rocker panel and part of the quarter panel as well as get the rims refinished...

Gonna be a tough year I have the s2000 on the project plate for next year and the new daily (2001 gsr) still needs some work before i get bored... the 68 amx still needs the restoration job to be completed and I'm in the process of buying an ae86 i just found with 49k all original miles on it tC may not be finished by me and the body shop instead

After seeing your car with the pics you posted now makes me wish I've gone with my original plan of air, oh well. Looks good man, can the front go any lower or would there be issues of the S-pipe hitting the ground before frame?

Yeah I wish I would have gone with air. Sure I can get way lower than you dwalker, but I will and am destroying my car lol. You sound like one lucky guy, with a garage full of nice cars like you said lol.

Hayseed, we still can go air :D. It'll be custom though, air over coils. I think doing that should be no problem laying frame, I don't know what all the issues would be after getting air installed though. Don't know if it'll be that easy.

I'm bag over strut ;) The problem is before you even GET close to lay frame you will need to tub it... at least on any decent rim i've looked into body dropping mine and the passion just isn't there right now

HKS I got rid of the kaminar hood i used to have here is a before of what it used to look like:

Do you really need to tub it? I know I dont have a wide set up at the moment, but even with something conservative, like 17x9, I'd imagine you could get away with laying frame without tubbing.
