    Can you post a picture of her before you raise her? It sounds wicked lowered, especially with the Novitec's.

    Well, the good news is if you're raising it, you'll get to see that they actually did the work before you pay them.... ;)

    Lucent Motors in West L.A. is very good. Speak with Tom if you happen to call them. :)

    Car is gorgeous by the way.

    Ah. Thanks.

    Now the garage can be on the second floor and you still won't scrape the splitter.

    However, some report iffy handling at higher speeds...say 45mph or so. :)
