Id love to lower it if would not interfere with my bottoming out of the car........ Ive already scraped the bottom once because our south carolina roads are as smooth as a camels back. That extra few inches that wingswest lip puts on the front of my car does not help out the matters at all.

Liked the stock rims better. Kit looks nice. Should have had the side moldings painted. Was the whole car painted? Looks the same color to me. Stock wing looks better too. Just my opinions. If you're happy with it; then congrats bro.

yeah I had the whole car repainted.. I think this paint is a little brighter then stock..Plus having it repainted brings the shine back that Ive been losing... Yeah im probally going to take the skirts off and paint them.. I agree. It would look better. Thnx alote

The pictures dont really show the difference in the paint job.

My $0.02:
Put the original wing back on.
I like the rims.
I like the kit.
Paint the moldings.

Shine you've been losing? My car's almost 10 years old, and I bet it shines nicer than the new paint job. It's all about keeping it well cared for. Wash every week, wax every 2 weeks (caranuba), polish every 4 weeks followed by a wax. Claybar once a year. Swirl remove twice a year. Got to do it all man. Trust me. I've seen myself clear as day in reflections on my white car. It's hard as hell to do that. Anyways, I'm just a clean freak; but good luck with the new paint bro! Enjoy it!

Waxing won't remove swirls. Only a proper swirl removing technique like using a buffer with some Meguiars #9, or 3M Swirl Mark Remover for Light Cars will. Megs #9 can be used by hand, but it's a ***** I've heard. Watch how you dry your car. Sometimes that helps with swirls.
