How did the Eibach Pro kit lower your car 2" when that is what the sport line kit does. Pro kit should have only been 1-1.5" max. Anyway, nice looking car but next time make the pics a little bigger.

here are some larger photos... hope they come up that way....
I had a local shop install my springs. To my pleasant surprise, my before and after measurement it was lowered 2". Looks great also.

Looks real good. But no way you dropped it 2" It looks like an inch to me... no more than an inch and a half. And what's up with the stripe? Is it reflective? At one angle it looks black, and another it looks silver. Also, I would have put rear louvers on instead of side louvers, and considered painted the spoiler and maybe even the trunk black like the old Bosses. Maybe even paint the hood scoop black.

Those are the Street Scene side louvers and I believe are functional, as in you can still see through them.

From the pics, they look pretty good - as good as I'd have hoped for.

I think they should be pretty much perfect. If you turn your head to look through the quarter window, you pretty much have one angle to look out at, and it looks like the louvers match that angle as well as they can.

My Car in the photos is half on and off my driveway. I might have not measurement correct.. but anyway it looks good....
The stripe is reflective black... I have considering painting the spoiler back or get the spoiler accent from Graphic Express.
Thanks for the input. Brenton

they work OK... I was never really able to see much out that window before anyway.
Wow!

A lot of guys are getting more than 1.5" out of the Pro-kit. That's why I've been hesitant to buy a set. I'd like LESS than a 1.5" drop. 3/4" front and 1-1/4" rear would be ideal for me.

Thanks.... Graphic Express has a accend decal coming soon in black for the spoiler. From some of the comments, i am going to get either it painted or the decay.
