Default 09 Stingray - Before and After

This is right before i lowered the car.


This is with the car lowered and the new wheels, grills and exhaust


And this is what it looks like now. Almost. I also blacked out my tails. This has Bats Front bumper overlay and rear spoiler in matt black.



Thanks. Hope it meets the standards here. lol.

really cool. Makes me wish I waited for Stingray Metallic. Like the rims too. I think 17s with no lip look great. They sometimes create the illusion of being as big as 18s with a lip.

You actually get away with having the front plate in the front window?

I filled the holes myself. i just sanded down the bumps and filled them with epoxy. and then smoothed them out again. and yes the plate is in view. so i have not gotten a hard time yet.

what springs did you use? did you swap the struts too. I am considering the TRD springs but don't know if they will be low enough for me. Do you know your drop in the front and back?

Thanks for all the comments. Springs are DF's and i kept the stock struts for now. All i know is the drop is exactly what i wanted. Its low enough to get rid of the gap but still high enough not to scrape.

Hey Neighbor, nice job on the Stingray! I'm waiting until Spring to do my drops. Since this is my daily commute, I decided on the NF's, but I'm really worried about pushing snow in the winter! Did you do the drops yourself or have them done?

i did everything myself. trust me on this one. it was my first time doing springs. it was way easier than i could have though. all you need is a spring compressor, a couple jack stands and a jack. it took a couple hours max.
