So what was the cost w/o the hood n bumper.  I dont have an idea as to have many gallons it takes to paint a car! And did they do just the outside or did they do the doorjambs and stuff like that as well? _____________________________ *Quit Later (in reply to live2rice) Post #: 18

RE: Finally got the accord back - 6/26/2008 9:16:24 PM    19Accord97   Posts: 3125 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline lol  It bugs me too but mine isnt lowered.  But you also have to realize most people dont actually look at the wheel gap the same way we do....seriously. I do have a bit of wheel gap but not as much as I thought I would.  The pics I took were right after I let it off the jack so it hadnt fully compressed the springs and struts yet.  Yeah, the arcs for the wheel wells are just more drastic then they need to be.  You have to get a pretty dang low dropping kit to get rid of the gap.  A full tank of gas makes a noticeable difference on my stock suspension.  Dont know bout yours since you have aftermarket. Ah, just thought about it.  Isnt your interior stripped?  If so that weight taken out is probably affecting your drop by quite a bit.  _____________________________ *Quit Later (in reply to live2rice) Post #: 24
