We used to do that to a guy here on his birthday every year, it was called 'f*ck with Swaim week.' Also posted an ad for a guy I worked with saying that he was buying used tv's, working or non, for $50 each. I've never seen someone get so many texts and calls in a days time.

You guys are stalkers...
The car is still my daily and the front lip makes it really annoying to get anywhere. Also the awkward line in the middle of the bumper still hasnt grown on me. Plus I really want to take it to some drift events this season and want some 16's for that

Too low?

If you don't like the seam on the bumper, then get rid of it. They make flexible body filler for use on bumper covers, or you can use Opal's acetone/abs plastic/hardener recipe. Either way, the greatest thing about modding cars is that it's your canvas, your vision, so if you don't like something you can change it.

Fronts are 235/40's on an 18x9 so they are a little stretched
Had the chance to put my coilovers on today. I planned on taking more pics but that never happens. So far the ride is 100x better and it handles much better too. Now I just need to sort out the rear

Just the fronts for now. Hopefully I can do the rears within the next month or 2
I gots me 4 questions:
1. What was your front suspension prior to the swap?
2. Which coilovers did you go with?
3. Did you lower it more than it was?
4. What CC plates are you running?
Looks killer as always, man. I guess... even more now

1. Prokit front springs with 1 coil cut
2. MM coils w/ 325# 10" springs
3. Yes it is a little lower
4. MM cc plates
Today I was able to mount up my tow strap that Ive had sitting around for a while. I decided to cut a slot in the bumper to be able to mount the strap directly to the metal bumper bar. I used a drill to start 2 holes on each end of the slot and cut out the middle with a jig saw, it worked perfectly. Hopefully this weekend Ill be getting a mach chin for it if everything works out
DSC_0750 by matson_kyle, on FlickrClean install on the tow strap. Should look good with your new spoiler too, man
I'm going to be installing a Mach I chin soon too. I was thinking about just getting it where I want it and holding it in place with tape.
Not sure what others have done. Any tips or tricks you used during your install will help me.
Forgot to ask what, what are you running for suspension out back?

Thats exactly what to do. Tape the chin on there exactly where you want it before drilling any holes.

Yeah thats how I plan to do the lip
The rear suspension is going to get overhauled soon but right now it is MM adjustable lca's with some crappy ebay springs with 2 coils cut and lakewood 50/50 drag shocks so it is pretty terrible haha

Thanks man!
Got my chin spoiler today and got it installed. It came with some plastic push screw things but I just ran to the hardware store and grabbed some stainless screws to hold it on
