LOWER?? You going to be a bottom scraper..I read somewhere in Rennlist, that the ride is not getting more comfortable going that low...becomes very rocky...but if you like that and track you P....it is going to look great!!! that's for sure

Well...I scrape the front all the time already...but with PSS9's you can adjust to taste...maybe ill go a little lower, and it its too low...i'll bring it back up....

Well the owner was a little on the low ball side...the final estimate is about 1200 bucks, for replacing the fenders, bumper and lights and painting the fenders, bumper and hood....still a pretty good price...probably get him down to 1000...I just want him to do a good job and it looks like he will...Monday or Tuesday next week I will post the new turbo front images!!!

Are you done with all your facelift mods? Looks like your avatar pic has the new facelift. Xenon headlights being expensive plus all the parts for 02+ facelift sounds like an expensive mod, but it should be worth every penny.

Is it Earl Scheib?

Just to get a front spoiler and hood paint is about $1200-1300 I have seen from "Good" shops that have state of the art paint facilities.
