Far from it and it drives me bonkers. The gal I bought it from lived on a gravel road and didn't care where she parked apparently. I have taken on a few door dings myself. We don't have a garage or even a driveway so detailing the car is pointless to me.

only thing i'm not really feelin' is the cleared headlights though..

I ran out of time (and patience) when doing the headlights and therefore only painted the reflectors. For awhile I was looking for replacement headlights (don't want to bust these open again), but with a baby on the way money is going to different things.

Yes

stock struts?

Yes

How is the ride and how long you've been on them?

I replaced the OEM ones that had 150k on them with OEM ones that had 50k on them. I've put 35k on this set up without problems. All of the cars I have owned for the last 12 years have been lowered and these ride like all of the others. I usually do a 1.5" to 2" drop. Only problem is when the car is loaded down the ride gets a little "boatish" on the interstate when we hit certain parts of the road. the interstate we travel on has parts where it looks like the cars in front of us almost get air.

Thanks! I think I want to paint the wheels the same color I had the 4th gen wheels painted but leave the lip. I've tried to photoshop it, but I'm a total noob at photoshop.
