yeah, I spray painted the grill to color match the car. $20 for a 12oz spray can. I think it looks a lot better then the Chrome spray paint i had on it before.

i thought you were dropped on something else.?

Haha, naw, S-Techs & Tokico HPs. Although, I'm looking into swapping a different spring set on the rear to try and get a little more drop, but we'll see.

I got a couple estimates to paint the kit, ranging from $400 up to $750.

I spent all my money on the kit already ha ha. So I just bought the paint and did it myself, ~$200. It took me 3 weeks to finish.... I spent a lot of time wet sanding and watching paint dry.

As for the drop I'm not sure what springs to get, probly go with the standard Eibach/Tockico setup that everyone else has. But that's not going to be in the budget anytime soon

Spray can

I wish i had pro tools, that would have saves me hours on wet sanding the "orange peel" off the paint and cleat coat.
