thanks for the compliments...

yes its lowered an inch with the Eibach Pro Kit.

its actually very tough to find places to take pictures with any sort of a background around here...

the one with the oil dyke i like cuz it says no parking/trespassing (breakin the law!!) and its a typical sight around here...

anyone in LA/OC know good spots??

Im in Cypress and a good spot to go is Seal Beach on a weekday right by where the bike trail comes to and end by the peir, if your lucky, there will be no one there so u can use the parking lot which has the sand and beachfront in the backround...you can see the Queen Mary from this spot-its about 2 miles left of you last pic

here's a 'before' pic 2 years ago... the tire gap looks so huge now!

it did seem like the front dropped a bit more than the rear, though i have no idea why that would be...

the bumper is actually a brand new replacement. after some plywood flew up and hit me on the freeway at 5am. i didnt bother putting the front plate back on. it looks so much better without. which also explains the replacement hood.

i only got one ticket for it at the same time as a parking ticket near sunset blvd. some snotty ahole called the cops he was watching me park without some BS permit in front of his apartment. i should have known but i was trying to avoid valet which i realize now is impossible up there. but i have never been stopped for not having a plate, only stopped one other time for speeding and the cop didnt mention it. i see so many without them (mainly luxury cars). also i still have the blue/yellow color plate on the rear, so i figure if a cop ever mentions it to me i'll be able to get away with telling him i have the old school license and never had a front one.
