Default Newcomer saying hello! (Flint Mica contents)

This is my first post on the forums and just wanted to say wassup to everyone. Joined a couple weeks back, but decided to post after the wheels got installed today. Pics could be better, but a cloudy/rainy day in OC does not help. Anyways, enjoy!











Comments and criticism welcomed!

Don't forget to read the new rules for SoCal Driving Laws in the Pacific South Section in Regional Areas! :o

i agree... nice wheels!

suggestion: easy cheap mod - ditch the rear wiper. you can find the plug cheap here on the classifieds section painted to match your car color. you've got a good canvas there. time to paint away!!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Blimon63: thanks for site. i was actually checking that site out last night and you reminded me to register!

Radar2004: i searched around for the driving laws, but i didn't get anything.

stonecoldnimrod: i actually like the rear wiper there. i haven't even given it thought of taking it out. but we'll see as time goes.

Lookin' good.

How much of a drop did you get with those springs? Hows the ride? Any wheel rub? I just bough a set of Hotchkis springs. They say it gives 1-3/8" front, and 1-5/8" rear. They'll be in next weekend.

From various sites, the drop list the front at 2.0' and the rear at 1.8'. From all the info i got on the forums, the DF210 are the springs to get to get the lowest setting (other than coilovers or bags). The ride is not that bad compared to stock. It's a daily driver and i have no complaints. No wheel rub at all.
