Lowered, picz.

Well since the engine is blown, I've been doing work on her, since she wont be on the road for a long time. i got extra side skirts and bumpers painted, the skirts white, both bottom bumper lips white and the rest red, should look good, but anyways here's pics of her lowered, 1.6 inch drop, dont mind her being dirty, she's been sitting for over a month now...








And a pic of when I had the front done and the back stock for the night:

Re: Lowered, picz.

they make the car look very tacky IMO and you should shave the emblum. and while your at it, i would paint the tails red and take off the neon plate holder cuz the chrome tails and plate holder make it look riced out. just some constructive critisizum(i dont think i spelled that right)

Re: Lowered, picz.

Especially since your car is red, and your interior is red....then a neon blue plate holder? But I guess I'm just biased against the chrome stripping. I hate it on every car I see, it's just pointless and makes it look so bad imo. I see people with nice expensive cars and then they put that shit on the car. The idea should be to hide bodylines not bring them out screaming. On a positive note, I think it would be pretty cool if you got some translucent glass paint and painting the tails red. So they're still clear just red.

Re: Lowered, picz.

Well I did take off all the stripping. The hood emblem was shaved, but after seeing Derks idea of painting it white and puttin her back on, I liked it, cheers to Derk, my whole car was inspired by him, before I had a cavalier I wanted one jsut to look like his :P, but anyways, I have a blue neon plate because red is dull and gross looking, blue is vibrant and nice looking, as for stock lights, not happening, i hate 95-99 style, I dont mind 00+ style and I really like the style Lance has. But its your own preference, right? And I love the lights I got on, I don't care if it's called rice, because rice would ahve to be those damn Hondas, tons of em done up round here, I just point and laugh because they should have dumped the money into an american car, oh well, they run their mouths till the Z24 eats them.......never lost to a Honda yet, but keeping that in mind, I've gone through 3 2.4 engines, and this will be my 4th when it is fixed, so no more racing. my car is mine, i like it how it is, but sometimes feedback makes decisions, like the stripping, I realized how bad it looks, thumbs up to you guys, but I like my neon plate and its not going, wait till you see my extra z24 stock kit i painted red and white to throw on after my engine is fixed, looks pretty decent. Kudos!

Re: Lowered, picz.

Also Im not one for body kits, I think they are a pain in the ass, a major hassle, 90% are ugly, and just a problem shouldn't need to deal with. Examples being, crack your kit, or scrape or whatever, lots to repaint it, replace it, refiberglass it, whatever, stock Z24 kit, tons at junkyards iof need be, I like the look of the stock z24 kit, on the 95-99's that is, they did a very nice job on it in my opinion, which is why Im not dumping money into a kit, and doing what I can to my stock one to make it shine its best. I dont know if anyone here shares that same thought, but thought i would post why i dont got a kit...

Re: Lowered, picz.

whatchya mean clear corner lights? By looking at your Sig pic, you already got clear corners and bumper lens, get Xenon fog light bulbs off eBay to get rid of that nasty yellow glow from your fogs, i did, i think it only cost me $12 shipped for a set.

think about what you just typed. Now who do you think is pointing and laughing? lol And by using chrome taillights and neon license plates, you might as well slap a Honda emblem on your car. Rice isn't "Honda" either. Rice is chrome taillights, neon plates, aluminum wings, stupid shit like fake turbo BOV's, fake carbon fiber parts, bunch of pointless NOS stickers and what not.

Re: Lowered, picz.

lol up here we call Honda rice because half the people who drive them here have them completely riced out and are either asian, whites trying to be black, or just plain dumbass hotheads. I know of 2 decent people that drive Hondas, they don't know my engine is blown lol I meant when I fly by them in a race lol, also Lancer, you can make sigs, would you br kind enough to make me one if it's not that much of a hassle? I got no experience in that.

Re: Lowered, picz.

I would say Yes, but i've said Yes to about 3-4 other people as well and I just don't have the time. They've been waiting a long time and I havn't felt like doing photoshop when I actually get freetime.
