What are you dropped on again?

I can't wait to finally wash my car for the first time this weekend since putting the wheels on last Saturday. Weather look good for the weekend and on through next week. Mid 80s and no rain....
I'm on KSport Coilovers! The current height may look low, but I've had no issued going over speed bumps and such. I was thinking of going maybe 1/4 inch more.

EDIT: Also, in my opinion, your drop amount is spot on! If I were to ever drop mine it would probably be this amount. Its just enough to be noticeable but not so much that its ricey. Very good looking car!
If I remember correctly, I'm at 35% front and 15% rear. I wasn't planning on going that dark in the back, but the cops aren't bothering me.

You know, I've never thought of that... I'll take a few shots today and see if it's so.

Looks good! I like gold wheels, and I think you pulled it off.

Taken apart from everything else, I think that color matched > gloss black. Gloss black looks good, but definitely does not look OEM. That being said, a color match that is even slightly off in color looks awful. Gloss black will always be gloss black.

I ended up choosing to do mine in gloss black after talking to the body shop about black vs color match. On my car, it goes with the blacking out I did on everything else using paint, powder and vinyl (grill, fog rings, headlights, window trim, rear spoiler, wheels).

Either way, it will look better than chrome! Good luck!

IDK about that, lobuzz311. 100% match is a difficult thing to insist on, particularly comparing painted plastic to painted bumper skins to painted sheet metal. I say that in order to maintain my sanity, because 3-stage White cars almost never match everywhere after the car ages. Doors look different than the side-sills which look different from the bumpers and so on.



At some point you have to accept that perfection is the enemy of the good.

I will definitely consider this as I do think GTR style looks better than full smoked as well.

From everything I've found online, this excuse is what sub-par body shops use for not being able to perfectly match a bumper to the rest of the car. Yes, there are some variances in how paint looks on various materials, but that's what tints are for. Good painters should have no trouble making it look 100%.

When I bought my car, there were some scratches and paint issues, so the dealer had a few panels and a new front bumper painted pre-purchase. After paint on both metal body panels and plastic bumper skin, there was no way to tell what was factory and what was redone. It's a dead match between mediums.

Here's a little dyno video of the exhaust. Getting a tune along with some AEM cold airs on Tuesday morning as for the exhaust gains. Well, we were pretty surprised. The sound and gains def made it worth the time I spent.

Next time you'll need to find another sedan with a full debadge to recreate this picture with all the debadge options for when people are wondering how they look.
