Just checked the car today, seems the height lowerd a bit. Now cannot fit in even a finger. By just looking at the wheels, I can easily see that there are camber issue. Will drive 2 more weeks with the same height and raise up a bit and do the alignment. Or else, my tyres can only drive for less than 10K. Really love the handling with this height tho.

That's what I did but the aftermarket matte black one doesn't exactly fit with the OEM one. So I had to have the surrounds of the matte one painted gloss to have this mix and match effect.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thought you eventually figured a way to mix and match the two. How did you paint it? Just spray paint?

Thanks chiver.. What you need to do is, jack up the car, take out the wheels, then you can adjust it easily. I'm lazy, I will just let the mechanic do it, or I will go to my friend's alignment shop to do it, as it better to do alignment after adjusting the height. I think most people only adjust the height once or twice, you don't need to do that too often, right? |

Don't tell me you paint it by yourself? If yes, your paint work is pretty good |

Yep, I thought he bought 2 sets and do the mix and match. For paint, I think he just use tape to cover the middle, as they are both black, so shouldn't be any problem. |

Some shop does the 3D alignment, charge over 12K or so. Don't know if it's worth it.

Thx ICIC. Your car looks very cool being so low but may not be so practical in hk. I've already scratched my car already not paying attention going over a speed bump and yours looks much lower!

Yes, the car is pretty low now. Lucky, no scratch yet, maybe I didn't drive too much. I will careful to go over ramp, but sometimes you just can't do anything here in HK, the ramps are too tight, has to go straight, no choice and can't avoid scratch. |

I really like to add a front lip after and this is what I am worried. Luckily there is none available front lip which I liked for me to pull the trigger yet.
