30 second Photoshop job, lol. That's an odd angle to chop a drop at.

**2005zx3** · 11-06-2009, 11:57 AM

Yeah I was looking to get drop it it oy sits about 7" off the groung I live in pa and I scrap As it is right now I'm running those falckon rims 205/40-17 and I wanna bump them up to 215 and put 45s other then that I have a cai and a bunch of inside stuff radio foglights tach blue LEDs you know the rap

**NHFocus** · 11-06-2009, 04:41 PM

How the hell do you scrape anything at that height? My subframe is 2 inches off the ground and I barely scrape (aside from speedbumps...I can't make it over those). I live in NH so the whole 'crappy roads' thing applies to me too.

What are your future plans for the car?

**2005zx3** · 11-07-2009, 05:48 PM

haha idk not everything just alot of stuff lol there really crappy here

**NHFocus** · 11-08-2009, 07:14 PM

Fair enough. Just pick a direction for the car, and go for it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my car when I first bought it...now I've done A LOT, and it's turned out half decent

**2005zx3** · 11-08-2009, 11:34 PM

Do you have pics of yours trying to get some ideas it says my taillights will be here tomorrow i have some stuff done to the inside but the only out side stuff is rims and tint and the only motor mod is the cai

**NHFocus** · 11-09-2009, 11:47 AM

Sorry they're so large.

**2005zx3** · 11-09-2009, 12:52 PM

Man that thing looks awesome have you thought about doing anything with the head lights I'm trying to go with the black out look also I was trying to find the black side markers like what you have but the only place I could find them was eBay
for like 25$

**2005zx3** · 11-09-2009, 02:34 PM

there nothing great but i like them

**NHFocus** · 11-09-2009, 02:38 PM

The side markers I have are from ebay. They are clear markers with black housings (i.e. they come with no tint or anything, it's a clear lense with black on the inside) I used niteshade to make mine black, then i bought orange bulbs so they are still technically legal.

**2005zx3** · 11-09-2009, 05:08 PM

Oh ok sweet I'll have to look into that

**2006TZX4** · 11-09-2009, 07:22 PM

**2005zx3** · 11-09-2009, 10:30 PM
