little addition today

I purchased wheel caps from Amazon (65 mm dia 4) to swap out the mrr ones. After setting up my Cricut, did some metal vinyl cutting, And boom... now I got the Stingray R logo on the wheels and now about to apply some high gloss finish to complete the project. I will post some pics later when I install them.

Nice work man. Both look great. I have the same wheels and now I'm jealous because it looks so much better lowered.

Do you have mag-ride or front lift? I have both which complicates everything. I know there are aftermarket lowering collars, but I'm pretty sure that's an instant warranty void. A service manager at my dealer gave me a bit of a "tough love lecture" when I even asked if it can be lowered. lol

Hey @PDXChad

I have both: mag ride and front lift, I did not install the front collars, I just did Eibach lowering spring and left it at factory stock height (no coil adjustments).

No issues so far, and ride the same, as far for warranty mostly has to do with the lowering collars that is why I skipped them (as far as I know).
