Does it need a drop?? *pics*

so I got my 20" Techart GTS put on this week w/ tint and the Techart exhaust. Springs were supposed to be done at the same time, but they ran out of time. after driving it around this weekend, I think the extra 1" of drop would officially be the death of my front lip spoiler regardless of how careful I am.

So, do you think it really NEEDS the drop? Or does it look fine the way it is??

Looks great the way it is, a drop would make it look better though, but that is easy for me to say in the flats, I guess in SF the drop would cost you the front lip

Any interior pics ?

Drop it. It will completely change the look. The front lip is cheap even if you replace it once a year. Mine scrapes at the very bottom however I have never torn it off or had to replace it.

Your TT looks amazing as is and doesn't necessarily need to be dropped, but it would look that much better if you did:

Looks perfect, why scrape more if you don't have to. What % of tint did you get? Any sound clips?
