WHOA! Haven't heard that one before! Picture didn't show but hope you're ok. Then again, as others on here would say... if there's no picture, it didn't happen ... (joke) Take it light!

Eibach pro kit springs did last year, rear Koni Sport yellow from RedShift. http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com/

The springs are fine I scrap all the time the front lip and bumper. Our roads are terrible and any drive way or exit out of a parking lots seems to dip enough that you cannot avoid scraping.

Finally made a road trip down to Nashville to pick up my carbon hood. On the way down I plowed thru a massive pothole going 80mph and knocked my alignment out. Got my buddy to fix me up and reset my RF camber and toe. She drives straight again for the time being. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on the ride home.

Looks good, man. Where'd you get the alignment done?

Sup bro. Yeah the hood looks really good, thanks for the great deal. My boy works at the firestone out in mount Juliet. They've got a sunk in alignment rack that's level with the shop floor. Was able to align my lowered car with no issues. Ask for my buddy AJ and he'll take care of you.

Removed the carbon hood for the 600+ miles drive back to Richmond from Nashville. Knocked the alignment back out on the drive. Have to reset that once again tom at work. And picked up a carbon rear diffuser from thefit09 before I left town. Still have to find the carbon lip and the exterior is done.
