But seriosly, it looks awesome.

naw its not down to height yet, gotta trim the bump stops on the vmaxx coils they almost adjusted all the way down but the bumps stop it. had to make it a roller to go to paint and get the arches repaired...
my friend agreed to fix the arches and paint the car for 400 bucks keeping the cost of the body work to less than a grand. cant beat that too easily! got the black magic pearleffect paint already so should be sexy soon!

and mike i did mod the guage cluster it used to be black and i wanted it to contrast so i made it white and it came out excellent!

carpet arrived today seems to have good fitment actually needs a little trimming. will post better pics when its nice enough to bring it outside again!

ill try to make it lower for yall too

How are those vmaxx? There's all kinds of debate on the tex about them being good/bad. I thought I may pick up a set maybe next year - I don't care about dampening.

Any thought on the quality out of the box?

they seem to be very good in quality. ive had them for a couple weeks, and obviously havent driven on them ill let you know, but for now, you cant beat the price for what you get.

the carpet is a nightmare to work with, it has no holes cut in it so its a pain in the ass and nerve wracking not to fup it up. as said fitment is good but a little extra around the edges it bunches up in the corners.. will take some time to work it out! pics maybe later today!
