Yeah the car is a weee bit bouncy with a full load, but with just two or three it rides fine. I know some of you may have a problem with rolling the fenders, but thats what they had to do in the front. Honestly is sounds worse than what it is. You can't tell at all.
Yeah Tint is a go........

[/quote]So, you only had to roll the fronts and not the rears? Your rear wheel looks like it's almost tucked into the wheel well. I think it looks good though. Didn't look like you had too much of a gap in the first pic. Not sure if I'd lower mine. Wouldn't want to affect the ride comfort. What kind of springs, shocks, etc did you go with? Congrats, looks great.
