Ive had major practice driving these roads lowered as this is my 5th lowered car Ive owned and my previos car a 350Z was 2" off the ground with a full lip kit and that was work not hit things.
Most people lowered that much here usually have damaged front bumpers. When I was lowered 3" from the ground it seemed I hit everything here no matter what I tried. No not all of Texas, just where I'm at I think lol. If I go out of My driveway wrong my wind splitter would scrap just a hair. I go on all angled every time.

Well my car should be ready when I get back into town. The car is looking good! The hood is finally redone, well almost lol... I went to the body shop today to get an update on it and to see how it looks. It looking amazing. I plan to use plasti-dip glossifier on it when it comes out. I should be putting the carnards and the Vortex wrapped in CF on. I do want to put the CF side skirt extensions on it but I might have to wait.

I also got invited to a car show. Still waiting on more information but if eveything goes well my car should be in it.

Car Show on Saturday. My car will be there and I'm very excited as this will be my first car show I'm actually in. Finally got the body finished and it's looking great. Just some minor parts I still want to add which I might add everything that I have before the event which is the front carnards and ground effects. Need some new pics and will be taking them at the event as there is suppose to be models and everything like that there.

Here are a couple of Pictures from the car show. Since I was in the sponsor section I did not get to be in the actual prize section.

It was a lot of fun. Live music and a lot of people. Though I thought there would have been a lot more people. Either way it was a good time.

Oh yea. I did upgrade my horns on the car with the PIAA 500HZ + 600HZ Sports Horn. Very easy install and I love the way they sound. They sound like this:

Fuego, have you thought of coilovers so you can drop it for shows, raise it for DD?

Interested in seeing how the horns look mounted.

I do have Coilovers. Just did not have enough time. Was still adding stuff at the last min. I put on the front canards on about 2hrs before the show they had to wash it and prep for show. Time was not on my side lol. Next show it will be lowered as I won't have a lot of other stuff to do, lol.

I took off all the stickers off the horns and mounted them close. Nothing to wow about lol. Just did not want the horns that most STIs have on them so it's different and I like how it sounds a lot more than the OEM ones but when I can I will take a picture.

What I'm looking to get done very soon:

I'm hoping to order the vortex and get it wrapped in CF.
The one that rexpeed was going to make fell through :-(

Take a look and see if I want to install my carnards
Plasti-dip with glossifier to protect my clear coat.
Complete wiretuck and weight reduction by August, maybe lol.

Near Future:
S-Sport and LC
More Gauges
BBK

Far Future:
Bigger Turbo
Better audio system

Before I decide to cover my car in full plasti-dip I started to experiment. Clear and metallic gold. Here are the results and the metallic gold does give it a metallic look to the paint. First I did one layer of glossifier and then 2 of the gold and 3 of the glossifier. The one on the driver side is the one in plasti dip and the passenger has nothing added to it. What you guys think? I believe I need one more gold layer and 2 more clear layer. It was put on very lightly and these was with the spray cans.

Plasti-dip:



Nothing Done To It:
