My God in Heaven Jeff! That looks awesome!

It's been fun watching the transformation of your ride. It's really different since I saw it last March in LA. The springs were just the touch needed!

Any other plans? SE Sport body kit? It makes it look even lower and more agressive. On a rag top, it would be killer.

Not that I like to defeat safety systems, but I personally would have the rear head rest loop bars cut off by a shop and have a leather shop fab a nice patch to replace the spot where the headrests would have been.

Congrats on the "new" ride. I bet you've put on a lot of miles since lowering!!

Thanks guys - I'm enjoying it a lot now, as you can tell by the pics I took today, been up and down the beach already and have gotten a lot of looks. Drove by a couple of guys in Gen 2 Solaras who stared it down good too. ;)

I was thinking about cutting off the headrests myself, but I do carry people in the back a bit. Might not as much now since it will definitely rub if I load it down too much! :roll:

The rear headrests area bit of a pain, but I wouldn't cut them off. If you were to get into a roll, it's a little bit of protection.

^^ Get used to the looks. I had a few cars chase me down to get second looks and talk to me about it.

I just realized the grill looks great with the wind screen. (I see the theme.) I still think you should black the chrome strip. It took me a year to get around to it after blacking the grill and I loved the combo. However, the chrome looks more natural on your silver car than it did on my red.

Here you can see the difference in heights between my SE Sport body kit and Tacti's lowered ride without the kit.

Sad note: See that Red backpack in the grass back there? It had my 25-55mm lens, a 75-300mm lens and Cokin filters and adapters. I drove off and left it there like a knucklehead. Thank God I remembered the Camera. (What a dumb a$$ I was that day. Too much Fosters at the US Grand Prix.)

your car made my car cry
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.
