Had trouble last year with dragging bumper over speed bumps or my garage.I needed to be able to crawl over things and then go back to my set ride height.
Stance air cups to lift up front when needed.Compessor and air tank fit in trunk.
Also they are testing something for the rear of the car.

Working on prep for 3 weeks.Block sanding.Primer with guide coat. More sanding.After market hood and fenders not as strait as I thought.All Carbon Fiber.I will just leave a little CF showing.My taste is not to have the hood and fenders showing all carbon fiber.All in the prep for a nice paint job.I will be using a new high soild clear I have not tried but have seen great results.

I posted this in DIY section but thought I would put in with build.This was an adventure.Fog light hooked up as factory.Change stalk on column. Used Canadian stalk so control on correct side.Dash light not there.Need to solder in led.Put 10 amp fuses in blank spots.
