thx...its Pinnacle ceramic the top of the line film which superceded Llumar's ceramic F1 film, same quality as huber optik...its actually 35 percent sides & rear w a suntrip in the front w/ Llumar ceramic airblue-80 up front for heat and UV rejection for full surround protection on the entire ****pit all around the interior....it looks darker cause I have black interior.

rossignol24 is infamous around these partsrossignol24 is infamous around these parts
Was gonna post last nite but wouldn't stop raining, as it sat stock the rears were identical at 25 1/4" from the ground to top of fender... but the fronts were 25 3/8" (driver side) and 25 9/16" (passenger side). I didn't understand why the fronts would be uneven.

Here's two pictures of it stock before any adjustment






You can see there is definite reverse rake.. alot of stock Gt2s are like this. I don't know about you but this bothers the sh$%t outa me.

Now i adjusted the fronts identical to 25 3/16" so only 1/16" lower than the rear and it looks perfect










Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures but I think it definitely looks better.

You're right Sunir these cars are definitely deceiving from the different angles you look at it.. sometimes reverse rake but then sometimes not at all its funny

Figured I'd show picture of my DAS roll bar install too, pcoated satin black

^^^ car looks awsome, gotta love the Seal gray, subtle understated but also a nice refined and proffesional color for such a violent and raw beast of a car, think of it as like a thug in a business suit ...I will have to take some measurments of mine as well from ground to center of wheel arche.

Hahah Yep! I love 6 Gt2s in arctic silver but in seal gray they just look so mean and under the radar. Then they're like banshees at wot lol.

I was wondering if I need realignment in the fronts for lowering around 1/4"? I honestly dont think i do, it's so low at the point where tire wearing doesn't matter

good question...I wouldn't think you would, but may not hurt just to get readings of the caster, camber and toe...

Why did you lower the front instead of raising the rear just a very slight tad? either works just wondering which one is closer to within ideal factory spec...

Yeah that's true.. I lowered the front because the rear seemed perfect with no wheel gap so I just wanted to show that in the front.
