Maybe now some chick-magnet properties will manifest in Inferno? Grond? Whatever.

Soon you'll have this to clean your car

Stephen - serious note first - get your alignment checked, lowering changes things. Second, I think I found a new rear emblem for you - would this fit on the rear facia (it is neon, of course)?



PS - we need one of those car wash franchises lilke Adamc5 has in VA up here!!!

Neon - Schweeeettttt!!!!!

What kind of alignment machine do I need to go to? All the ones around me here are ramp based ones and my car was too low BEFORE to be aligned on them - now it won't even get on their ramps!!!!

Someone mentioned "Hunter Model something or other" a while aback- and help would be appreciated.

Fat chance. Grond is not a chick magnet for me

I agree, and that is how I did it on stock bolts - front first and then the rear. I just impulsively installed the rear lowering kit I had hanging around for the past 3 months just because I happened to have the rear jacked and the wheels off. Going to try to do the front tonight in the dark and cold. Should be fun.
