    Found pics of when my rolla used to be my sisters car. This is the damage I was talking about in the earlier posts when she fell asleep while driving. Replaced and Restored everything with my dad in our own garage. DSCN2436.JPG

    Yes they are!! I was heckaaa mad when I found out my sister trashed them. But my dads co-worker had extra wheels laying around from his old eg6(the black ones on the rolla now) and gave them to me for free :) && lol I WANT a drop. But I could live with how high/low it is for now..In person it sits pretty low. Really close to some civics that are dropped at school. I HATE how my rolla doesn't look as good in pics as it does in person tho.

    Heres what the old pair looked like 100_3353.JPG

    This civic parks in front of me on purpose ever day lol. Just wanted to compare the height. This is a hella bad pic tho because its from an angle.. But I think its just that huge gaping space between the front fenders and the tire. I'm gonna drop the front a couple of inches when I start working again.

    Im not a big fan of body kits (too much work and fiberglass) but i was driving without a front bumper and hood for about a month (insurance was still working on my claim and i had no money as a high school student to buy another oem bumper and hood) until my birthday rolled in and my uncle came up with this body kit and hood for me...

    If you're doing it for the look instead of the weight savings, just buy a 40 dollar roll of 3M cf vinyl, and spend the 100 on something else.

    Good point. The weight savings are functional but its not like I'm going to be taking advantage of it or anything.
