the hood was 125 and the bumper was 200. it only takes 1 gallon of actual paint to paint a car.

if you look at the actual car its pretty low(i can barely clear the front lip pulling out of my driveway)

it just has bad wheel gap

lol It bugs me too but mine isnt lowered. But you also have to realize most people dont actually look at the wheel gap the same way we do....seriously.

I do have a bit of wheel gap but not as much as I thought I would. The pics I took were right after I let it off the jack so it hadnt fully compressed the springs and struts yet.

Yeah, the arcs for the wheel wells are just more drastic then they need to be. You have to get a pretty dang low dropping kit to get rid of the gap. A full tank of gas makes a noticeable difference on my stock suspension. Dont know bout yours since you have aftermarket.

Ah, just thought about it. Isnt your interior stripped? If so that weight taken out is probably affecting your drop by quite a bit.

yeah the interior is stripped.

Think i will just do Zeal Coilovers and slam it, because it is no longer going to be a daily driver.

Man my wheel gap is horrible! Seriously though, 19accord97 do you know how tall your tires measure? I have 215/35/18's on mine now but I'm thinking about going to 215/40/18's. I think it will fit when I'm all the way down, but I don't know for sure.

Mine does not handle like coilovers will at all, but it does ride good and looks awesome sitting on the ground.
