          The lip is actually 2 different ones. I know it's cheap and not the best looking but hey whatever. The top is from a Volvo 940 wagon. Had to notch it to get the curves right otherwise it fits like a legend sedan lip with gaps on the sides. On the bottom of that is the garage door seal from Lowe's. It's gets scraped alot so I wanted something flexible since the Volvo lip is pretty rigid. It cost me $6 from the JY so I didn't care about drilling into it and some slicing.

          The suspension is coming along slowly but surely... Crappy eBay coilover sleeves on the lotek shortened struts. Full prothane conversion in the front: UCA anchors, strut bearings, both LCA bushings, radius rod/strut rod bushings, sway bar end links and mounting bushings. Spc 3 degree upper ball joints/new regular lower ones. Manual converted rack and pinion with new tie rods/bellows/steering column u joint. The rear is stock right now apart from the struts/springs. Adjustable UCAS and both lower arms coming soon (not sure what brand yet, something halfway decent or just OE arms with poly bushings like front) i do need at least adjustable ucas in the back even if i keep the lower arms the same. To get the camber where i want it. and I'm determined to figure out what to do about the trailing arm and lower shock bushings since I don't want rubber and the hardrace pillow ball ones are a little out of my reach at the moment. Considering I don't Street race, or track it and I drive like a grandma most of the time I feel OK with the spring/strut setup until all the bushings and arms are done. Then I'll get some coilovers. But for $150 they are not bad at all plus they give you like 2 inches extra strut clearance and are super stiff with the 250lb/in eBay springs. When I had those springs on the og struts the the top would hit the bottom of the top hat. I'm pretty much as low as I can go without hitting the top hats on the shorter struts now. Which is what I'm looking for... lowest and stiffest possible. Im trying to have an insanely low car, practically laying frame with a static set up but not ridiculous camber. Especially not on the drive wheels. Just enough to stay planted going around any corner. But for now I'd say I'm about 3.5-4" below stock with the original size tires. It's not a racecar by any means nor is it a show car yet but I'm just trying to drive slow, turn heads, scrape the bottom of my car off on flat ground and have a JDM level over 9000!

            I live in Siler City, I haven't been to Wake Forest in quite some time, but I do go to LKQ in Clayton every few months looking for parts.

              Is that some sort of eBay header? I'm in a need of new header for my G23 build and right now I really don't feel like fabbing one. Keep up the work!

                  I gotta redo the rest of the exhaust soon. Its full custom from the header back. I'm over the loud sound now and just want a deep rumble that's not very noticable . plus I was run up on a median by a drunk driver a year ago and it kind of tweaked the pipe in the middle so it hangs lower than it should in places but ill take that over getting my front end smashed in

                    Why bother lowering on ebay junk? That only puts your car, your safety, and the safety of all around you at risk.

                    I liked the car until I read that.

                      Oh DC sports... Wish I could find something decent like that. Well, once my friend found a Megan Racing header from a 1995 Accord. I paid him and he took it, but when I got my hands on the header I was a bit upset. He was too damn stupid not to cut the 4-pipes, but actually use tools to take it off in one piece. So, he screwed it up He also tried to weld it but everybody knows what happens when you try to weld stainless without proper equipment.
