Well, as I said before I was going to lower my '05. Finally got around to doing it, here are pics:

 

AND a couple more:

 

I think your car is awesome looking! What kind of rims are those?

Sam

 

Hey Sam, thanks! Most would think blingie blingie...I actually have these wheels up for sale on ebay. They are the Zinik Z7's in 20x8.5.

 

Looks great! But, my only gripe is that the stripes on the hood need to go to the edge. They look really funky with it cut like that. Other than that, you did a good job.

 

Very Very nice.

awsome ride!!

 

Very Nice Matt Did you use the Steeda camber Plates?

 

Matt, looks good but I too think the stripes look unfinished. They should go right to the edge of the hood and should be completed where the license plate goes.

 

Looks great! What lowering kit did you use?

 

didn't use the camber plates I still need to take it in for the alignment. I used the Eibach Pro Kit.

Adrenalin - thanks for the instructions they were VERY Useful!!!

I know, I know, I'm working on the stripe issue. don't know if I should repurchase a new set or extend them with spare stripes I have...that would probably look really tacky i'm thinkin.

 

Try extending them first and leave just a 1/8" overlay, should barely even notice.

 

looks awesome

 

any tire to wheel rub with the 20 inch rims whem going over bumbs. :scratch: .. what is the off set i am looking in to the z9 rim

 

NOPE...none at all which I'm very surprised. I can do a tight u-turn and no rubbing. Offset is +42mm . Doesnt hit going over bumps, nada. The z9's are SWEET! Good choice.

 

Didn't you keep the tire diameter the same when you went to the 20's? 255/35/20's? If so, there wouldn't be any chance for tire rub, unless you just lowered it too much.

BTW, the black out panel looks a lot better than I thought it would with the stripes. That has now moved up on my mod list. Any pics of the back end with the sun shining on it so it's not in the shade?
