i wish i had the money to paint mine

 

If you can do the bodywork yourself, you can probably get it painted for pretty cheap.

 

I have a friend teaching me to paint, and my GLH is going to be the test car :P

 

So, for the cost of paint, I can use his booth :)

Yeah dude, it's actually not terribly bad if you do all the prep yourself and just have someone spray it, that's how I did it, came to like $750.

 

...and he's an interior shot, I seem to be lacking those:

The floor mats need a good vacuuming and the whole deal needs to be dusted. I took this the other night, she's been in storage since t-giving.

If I max out the front sleeves I can prolly just tuck a little tire, but then my suspension is all bump stop. Depending on how the rear looks when lowered, and how stiff the springs are, I might go lower with the front. I'm pretty happy with where it's at for now though.

Could you go another .5-.75 of an inch lower on the front? The rear is perfect but the front looks a bit high in comparison.

 

My 2 cents...for what it's worth. I'm still digging the car though!

The rear is actually still stock height in that picture, completely stock rear suspension. I haven't put the coilovers on the rear yet, once my rear camber plates show up then I'll be doing the rear.

 

I was thinking the same, probably another 1/2" in the front and a bunch in the rear. I still want a good raked stance, but lower in the rear.
