They're holding well one popped off a week after getting them on because I'm way too low haha clipped it on the side walk pulling in somewhere and yea we re did my skirts might move on to full sideskirts not sure yet. Mine are secured from inside the side skirt now

True on wheels, but for now I am happy with my refinished wheel/caliper combo. If I were to mount up some after market wheels they might take away from the focus on the rest of the car, sometimes wheel choice and what has been done to the exterior of the car can ruin the flow and theme of the build, it's a fine line on wheel choice. Well that is my reasoning for keeping the stockers, after all the stockers look awesome to start with and with a color change (subtle) the wheels flow with the rest of the car. Another more valued reason, is that I have spent my wad and have no money to even think about a wheel swap.

Sux about the spats, the do look cool. Mine had to be remounted and cured properly with the compound to set. Temps were low the day they were installed and I had tape on them to hold them in place during set time which was cold and raining. Second time around we left the car in the body shop over the weekend to cure and set.

Dang...I am going to have to hit David up to remount my skirts with more secured screws. Thanks for the fyi. You car looks clean and low, wish I could drop some more but fear my driving days in the canyon would be over due to scrapping. It's a trade off for looks over functionality.

yea not many people have much money to spend but i feel like used TE37 would be nice but yea

once i get the works in im working on the ride height im going to raise it a bit more right now i can drive almost anywhere as long as theres not steep drive way or anything as low as i am yea canyon runs might be bad on the sideskirts haha but im raising mine to a more functional height soon
but still low hahaha

my rears were a bit easier to put on they weighed a bit less than the actual sunline/areojacket, less material was use mine was a bit more flexible so it was able to mold to my car better waiting for my lip paint that and a few other things then when tax season comes around looking to buy a new exhaust and minor bolt ons headers, intakes, tune, etc..

Yeh, not one to buy used parts, but if a deal came up and TE37 and for the right price, I would somehow find the $$.

Coil overs would solve the height issue at least I would hope so. But yeh I know what you mean about making the whip functional for canyon runs.

I know David had three guys hold the spats in place while the compound set. Should be good to go now.

What lip are you looking at?

Motordyne is an awesome exhaust, but isn't the full benefit of their exhaust is when paired with their plenum intake?

Can't wait for tax return $$$ for more mods.
