looks sweet, any thoughts on changing the exhaust? Right after the wheels were installed, I installed a cargraphic exhaust and WOW. Between the wheels, lowering, etc. and the sound just about complete's the machine. I'm saving those pennies for headers and cats for the next mod.

Eric, I have already...haha..LOL! We've been emailing from my work address. I think I'm supposed to receive the bumperettes sometime this week, that is, if I recall our email conversation correctly.

No doubt about it. Exhaust will definately be changed. I'm just not sure which one I want yet. I'm reading and researching my options still.

I'm not going to lower the front anymore, but I do agree that the back needs to be dropped a tad bit more. That's the first thing I noticed after the wheels went on. If I get some time, I'll probably get it adjusted sometime this week.

BTW - what does "rake" mean?

That would be awesome. Dude, your pics will kill anything I can take so you have nothing to be ashamed of. My pics are absolute trash compared to Alberts.

Let's get a pic session setup sometime soon....I'm getting my bumperettes on sometime this week....I'll be ready after that.

The car looks great. You need to drop that tail a bit more.

ah, so that's what rake means. i get it now. i'm slow apparently. 1/2 inch? you think that much? would the car look weird if the clearance (fender minus top of tire) is more in the front than in the back?
