Oh.....and how's the ride with your Pro Kit.....an honest, honest opinion please. A buddy's trying to talk me into a set and I'm wavering 'cause it looks great lowered but I don't want it any (or much) firmer than it is.

Let me know, Mark.

Brenton, your car looks sweet definitely one of a kind.

I not sure I agree with you on the bra though.

As for the post above, I have the pro-kit on my car as well. The ride is a little rougher. Since I have lowered it I have noticed myself avoiding man hole covers more often. I also have 20in rims on mine as well, so that dosen't help much. Overall I would say the ride quality is not bad, of course I am still relatively young and don't mind that kind of stuff anyways. I can say for sure that the car feels a lot more solid when taking corners now.

Mark,

It does make it much firmer. I keep my org size tires 235/55/17s. It think they are helping with some of the bumps.... but I can still feel the road presay. The pluses out way the minues. I am glad I installed them. Hope that helps

Thanks,
Brenton

Very nice! The black and silver work well together
I think the spoiler accent would look good on it as well.
Which hood scoop is that ? It looks good.

Jeff,
Here is the link to it on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW

WOW... It has got gone up $100 since I got my.... mine was $195 painted....Now $295.

If you order it.... It will not fit without drilling holes....When I first place it on, it looks like there is no way it fits. After installing with a few hints....
-Make sure it is over 70 for a few days
-tighten each nut a little at a time on each side and it'll draw it down flush
I think it looks great.

Thanks,
Brenton

I don't like the spoiler accent. I think it would look much better with the whole spoiler painted.

I like the car, but think a blacked out hood would finish it off perfectly. Or at least, some type of black stripe/paint scheme on the hood perhaps?

Looks great regardless...
