Pic of my t/a's 2" drop

So I decided to wipe the dust off the suspension parts I ordered months back. I am nearing the paint stage. Mods come first and paint is dead last.. I love it and it handles better then ever. I don't like the fact I snagged my glasspack on a steep entrance last night

Looks good, I've got the same set-up with the dropzones. You definitely don't want the exhaust anywhere but the stock location if your dropping it 2"!

Looks more like a driving light.. I wonder if it's actually street legal... It would look a lot better if the headlamp doors were incorporated into the hood.. it just looks like the lights are off. Before you get it painted you should either weld the headlamp doors to the hood or remove them and cut and weld some patch panels to the corners of the hood to make it one solid piece.

Re: Pic of my t/a's 2" drop

They are driving lights.. and I find them just as bright as stock they are adjustable and aim where they should. I could also upgrade the bulbs. As for the hood factor I like it the way it is. Besides I don't think its going to work to too well trying to weld the covers to the hood. I have had plenty of compliments in person , people have even said the car should have came stock this way.


Thanks!

It has headlights...as far as I know they do not need to be dot approved. Regardless these provide better light then stock.

Inspection? couldn't care less. I can swap in the stockers in 15mins.

As for the kit I made everything myself it was a ton of work. Redraif is the first to do this I believe. Anybody else that has done this has taken a pic from far away and never posted a "update" probably because it was a very choppy installl when seen up close.
