        wait did you paint the hood too? I gotta say this is looking fantastic. Did you cut the rear springs at all yet? I think the current stance is perfection.

          Yes hood got painted as well. Going to rock the stock hood until I can find an SS hood.

          Rear springs are not cut but will be tonight/tomorrow. Only taking half a coil.

                Don't do it man - like Joel said that stance is mint.

                  On level ground it looks different. My drive way causes the car to look like it sits a little lower.

                  Might do a quarter coil first.

                    I can see a half or quarter coil being an improvement, but youre pretty close to perfect the way it is!

                        I'm with these guys as far as the stance goes. Could you get a full side shot so we can get a better idea of how it sits?

                            Thanks guys.

                            Replaced the relay for the fog lights, damn 15 bucks for a little relay!!!!
                            Good news is that it fixed the lights and they work perfect now.

                            Going to swap out an O2 sensor tonight and see if that helps the hesitation it has off idle. When you just punch it, it doesnt just go it fumbles for a half a second and then goes like hell. This could be contributing to why I despise the clutch.

                            Drove it to work today, trying to drive the thing all over while it still nice.
