lookin nice! thumbsup.gif
just a question though, why is your center reflector missing?

looks good, we still need to figure out when saturday morning we are going to do that stuff. it shouldn't take to long to do it. there is still to much wheel gap for me with the eibach springs, that's the only reason i will choose to use the coil overs.

cool deal. Good luck with all your installs.

Im going to try to fix my car once and for all. To the tune of about 300 bones. yucky.gif

Of course, you know the drill.

well it was nice to take the drive out to pauls for this one and i thank him for his trust. but this is not a major install and could have been done at my house if i had a jack and stands. it is a two person job though, there is no way i could have lifted and positioned the struts in the wheel well without someone on top doing work also. its time consuming but not really that difficult, and i have great satisfaction that i did it myself.

as for the center reflector, i have two but i need to go buy some lock nuts to put on it so it doesnt fall off anymore. i take it off because it gets loose and i dont want it falling off or anything.

the wheel gap, still some there but i dont want to go any lower. with a kit going on soon i dont want to rip it off and i have already noticed i am scraping the front every now and then with the new setup. i also can not work under the car anymore without a jack, so doing my underglow yesterday was a pain in the ass.

the installs at your house should not take long at all josh. you have done an UDP before and the sway bar so it shouldnt be too bad and it will be a fairly quick day. which leaves plenty of time for ghost recon!!! lol

and yes, i did get an alignment the next day at national tire and battery. the car looks really good in person and handles like a dream. it also rides a lot quieter now, dont feel the bumps hardly at all anymore thumbsup.gif

i don't live with my parents anymore, i moved in with some friends, so maybe the ghost recon will have to wait, but you are welcome to come over and play it sometime. brad will have to come over with his controllers and we'll all play on live sometime. i really want to see what the tv looks like with four screens.

brad, we'll have to do your coil-over and strut install on a sunday. my stepdad says i can't do welding or cutting in "his" garage. if it's going to be burnt down, he said he is going to be the one to do it. he'll help though.

kyle: you wouldn't scrape so much if you didn't pull up to close to the curb. thumbsup.gif

lol i only scraped on two drive ways. i dont scrape on my own tho. and i am making a conscious effort to not pull so close to parking curbs anymore... my car wont clear them lol

Yeah ... I removed my neon (again) after I pulled up to a curb at my apartment and broke it off the underside because of the lowering.

mine has been on for a few days, no scraping of the lights. still have not taken the time to finish the wiring...

and we ran out of time on saturday to do the rest of my installs at josh's, we just crammed and then didnt have some of the right tools and parts... we are ready for next time, which will be tuesday i think
