it is dropped, eibach pro kit, the car itself is actually low, it just has wheel gap. I have been looking into Zeal Coilovers, but any lower and the lip will be on the ground.

I might see if some beefier tires will fit

the paint was $356 a gallon. then i had to buy clear, reducer, primer etc etc. a new hood and bumper


so the total cost ended up being a little over $1000

Jeesh! Not cheap but cheap compared to a paint job! I would have had them do an extra coat or two of clear coat. And why did you need a new hood n bumper?

there is already three coats of clear i believe on it.

The bumper was cracked from hitting a snow bank, and then next to the license plate was a pretty decent dent which was there when i bought the car.

the hood had so many dents in it it was going to cost more to fix than to buy a new one.

Well I wish I had the hook ups like you! So what was the cost w/o the hood n bumper. I dont have an idea as to have many gallons it takes to paint a car! And did they do just the outside or did they do the doorjambs and stuff like that as well?
