Thanks guys...
SDf10 - Do IT! its pretty crazy how lowering the car slightly more than springs can totally change the way it looks. Its hard to capture with these iPhone pics but in person the car just looks completely different because of its stance. Here another quick pic. I'll post legit shots once i'm done with my next "mod"

How do the coilovers handle on rough NYC roads? Do you expect to bottom-out or hit the front spoiler more often now?

Honestly i am going to have to raise the rear slightly because thats too low considering I don't have anyone in my car yet. Usually its me, the wife and the kid in the car along with tons of stuff in the trunk so it would be even lower than that!
Haven't done much driving yet since the install but I am expecting to scrape my front lip more often now. Its only about half inch lower up front so I am hoping i can still get around ok without completely destroying my 3D lip. I am assuming driving wise the stiffer dampening will compensate for the slightly lower ride height. My ACS springs would still bounce more than I would like on dips and I am expecting that to be completely eliminated now. Alan

If people thought your license plate was confusing before, they are going to be totally lost now.....

She's done....
Pics do it no justice. The 3M Satin White Pearl looks insane in person. The pearl effect changes as you walk around the car and the semi matte/satin finish really makes it pop. I thought it would look too similar to a normal white car but it doesn't. So far everyone that's seen it all said it looks wild in person. Very happy with the results and glad I did it myself. I made sure I wrapped in and around every corner, removed every panel/part possible to tuck in the wrap so it looks like paint. Quick iphone pics for now.
