    I would recommend first and foremost de-badge everything but the "S" part on your car, get the Gtec front lip ASAP and consider how your going to lower the car. Coil overs > Sprint Strut. I've just never been very pleased with the spring strut combo, as many other members. Then a nice set of wheels will finish off the car since you already have side skirts. Your car is really an "S," right?

    Was looking to get kyb gr2 struts and tein s techs. Recommend anything else? To drop it low under $500. And where can I buy a gtec lip? Looking for a front lIp, but might just settle for a home depot diy. And yes, hummer I was actually planning on keeping the s like you said. As of new wheels, konigs probably. And thanks all.

    Gtec lip on ebay... apparently there is talk of Gtec lip reproduction so who knows..
    I would say see if you can spot a set of used Ksport coilovers... you wont stay pleased with kybs and s tech.
    And for the love of god, dont do a Hoe Depo lip... -.-

    I think we've all had KYB GR@ and Tien S tech at some point. They are most definitely the best spring&shock combo, but coilovers are better (so if you get them now instead, you save $500).

    Heck, if I had a Delorean and never changed the oil, and it could still time travel, that'd be pretty boss.

    I FIXED IT FINALLY

    It was my computer, I had to go into the color calibration settings and mess with some stuff. Thanks to KennyDang and the internet, now everything is all good :) Turns out I was the only one who could see the problem, all of my hosted pics were fine.

    See, the problem is that all the old programs I'm using weren't good enough to show the difference, they automatically fixed it. Now, with LightRoom and Flickr, they don't autocorrect anything and I can see it.

    No, because it would be 12am the next morning. Basically, he summed up working friday 9am to saturday 12am as one day. think thats what he meant.
