Just got some work done on my car over spring break, was able to get quite abit done.

I know the angles blow, but you can get the idea.

First thing I did was throw some Eibach springs on there to drop it a bit:

Next up I go my '01 Cobra Bumper painted and put on and also tinted the Tails using AutoBadges Taillight Tint.

I shoulda tooken more time on the shots, but like I said, I think the changes are fairly obvious. The drop isnt slammed, which is good, cuz out here roads are nasty. I'm guessing the springs will settle another 1/4-1/2 inch? I'm not sure.

The AutoBadge Tint btw worked out real well. The third-brakelight piece is not very fun, its fitment isnt all that great and it had a PITA crease that took awhile to get rid of. I'd recomend the Tail-lights and side marker tint from Autobadges to anyone, but if I had to do it again, I prolly wouldnt order the third brakelight. Just my opinion.

Any opinions, comments...suggestions?

are those taillight tints removeable? if not i don't know that i'd use them on amber turn signal tails...just due to the rarity of them...

Nice

The before and after pics really show just how horrible our cars sit from the factory.

I'd say that stance is just about perfect now, nice job!

Thanks guys. Now I start saving for a few more things to do over the summer...

@ Tony - for sure, you know where I am.

@ Mike - think I got the tails, 3rd, and sides for just under 100.

@ quick01 - yea, they are removable

And thanks to everyone else again. Glad to get rid of that stock stance!

good drop, it should settle another 1/2 inch if that so expect a SLIGHT change, nothing major tho

be careful with those thing things. My friend did it on his mach and the light got hotter thus making it melt into itself. He got his from autobadges. Also, ur gonna hate them the first time u wash/wax ur car. The edges will turn white.
