JeremyDoc's Ballin' thread. check it yo!
^ Took me a good day to sand mine down, paint it... and I also had to heat and it up re-form it because it was all bent up. Looks good though. Just a couple visible zip ties that hold a tab on but no biggie.
But yeah, I keep looking at your car in lust. Your drop make me want to pick up RS1 sides and rear. But I've never quite been a fan of RS1 sides/rear with OEM front. Because of you, I'm going to lower my locking rings until they are about to fall off. I've never experimented to see how low they'll go. Just left it at one visible thread. But yeah, your whip looks tooooo good.

hehe. thanks man. i have locking rings removed all around. fronts are maxxed, and rears have like 5 treads. and i love the rs1 kit. IMO, they look best out of all. second comes the oem.
and btw, i was also thinking bout heating up the skirt with a heat gun i have. but do you think i should reshape it first? or sand it down first? and i was thinking about ziptieing the cracked part, which rungs like 3 and a half feet a long the whole underside. but i thought about it, thats usually where the skirt touches the ground anyways when im on a speedbump. wouldnt it just tear right off?

so i had nothing to do today, so decided to go ham on my sideskirt. i sanded down the affected areas, and ziptied both ends so i could still bolt it onto the car.
i already ordered the paint, so once i get that in the mail, ill prolly paint it. maybe by next week or so. so until then, ill rock it like this. haha

I've jumped an island(cut the wheel too early) with my Celica and almost got stuck, only thing damaged is the sideskirt which has a bend from where it landed. I'm on the watch more for curbs and what not since then.
Dude, Ive been looking for an FM on Whites rims forever... When your pic, my life was complete. I gotta get me some white and paint or get me some new rims... Oh and I want your tails ;p
I wanna know how you guys drive that low. S techs on 17s were already difficult for me getting off driveways and up speedbumps and turning sideways every de/incline. Don't get me wrong, your stance looks bomb, but how do you end up not ___ing up your bumpers? It's amazing

tc-s08 exactly what i do. when i was on s-techs, i felt like i was super low at first, but i realized, they are no where near as low as racelands/rokkors could do. so i used that time i had s-techs on to practice and manage my daily routs accordingly to avoide future problems once i got slammed on coils. take this time to do the same to your routs while your on s-techs. trust me, if you think s-techs are low, wait till you slam on coils. and start modding them to go lower than whats originally offered.. haha
