My friend came over for a car wash and when we finished I unleashed my inner photographer and went crazy with his camera. Took some good pics, took some bad pics, just wanted to have some fun with it.

Also a mild update, lowered the rear a bit since the video and added some 5mm spacers. Rear could probably do with a bit more drop, but I rub enough already.

As always, I hope you guys enjoy. I thought I did pretty good with the camera, but I'm always open to feedback.

It's probably rubbing the rear bumper. Just gotta shave that portion off.

Nice coupe, btw.

Thank you, and yes. Its rubbing the part where the clip that holds the bumper to the quarter panel is. I grinded the tab all the way to the metal, then bent the metal upwards with pliers and it still rubs.

That helps but as you go lower, it's most likely that you have to shave this portion of the bumper like I did here.

I relocated my tab as far back as possible and bent the metal as well but it was still rubbing. So I drove around the neighborhood where I would normally rub and actually got out the car and checked where it was rubbing. So I just shaved more and more until it no longer rubbed.

That's a good idea. Gonna back down my driveway tomorrow to see where the rubbing happens and see if there is any little bit left to shave away, because I do want to get the rear as low as the front.

It's looking good.

There is always room for improvement, but that is no knock against what you have done with the car so far.
