I'll be getting better pictures soon right after I polish and seal it!
Thanks! I don't know if it's the best choice to do that around here then, I have a feeling I'm gonna scrape everywhere I go if I can't even get into a driveway. Almost every parking lot entrance here has some sort of hill.

Hows the ride with the STI pink springs compared to stock? Seriously considering them. Do you have them installed on stock struts?

I'm really enjoying the springs. More aggressive turn in and less body roll is great, but what makes them really special is that the ride doesn't feel any more harsh and it lands in the sweet spot of drop

Updated the first post with new pictures

Here are some close ups of the front lip, antenna, side skirt and rear spat









Probably should've taken these before going for a drive to preserve the detailing but whatever

Outside detailed with: Adam's paint correcting polish, Optimum finish polish, Optimum tire gel, Wolf's hard body, Sonax polymer net shield and finished with the special Auto Finesse desire

Ok good to know. Just trying to decide if the small drop these provide are worth the money. I deff wouldnt be able to drop the car any lower then these because id be bottoming out everywhere, but does half an inch really help close the wheel gap enough (visually of course)?

I think it makes the gap look more uniform throughout compared to stock which is what I wanted. It won't be that seamless flush other people are getting with different springs or coilovers, but I'm happy with how it is visually.
