'02 ES...Clean and Stock baby...not that there's anything wrong with that..
Just bought mine a month ago.

Looks good, I'm a sucker for green :) Some MSP Racing Harts would look great on it.

Did you bake your headlights, or buy a set of euro lights?

Bought a set for fear of wrecking the other ones and spending twice as much on the project (ughdance)

Thanks. Once I was saw a green one in person, I was hooked. And I don't typically like many green cars.

I think a set of gold Harts would look sweet against the green body color.

don't forget the springs ;)
Springs would be nice. I'm not sure where to have that done though. I'm not really confident enough at this point to do something like that myself. Probably have to kick down some serious chedda to have it done somewhere.
 
I'm sure there are plenty of protege folks around your area that would help you out if you buy some pizza and a case of beer ;)

Good point. It's amazing what pizza and beer can get you these days...hehe.
 
I would help out if I were closer - if for no other reason than to help alleviate a bad case of wheel gap ;)

you'll be surprised how much more responsive the steering is with a little drop

You can say that again. Does it ever look better too.

your car is screaming to be lowered....but nice grill!!!

Thanks, it needs a little more touching up though. I finally got the last bits today, so when my buddy is free we're going to finally lower it!

Hah...I appreciate the thought. Maybe I'll find someone in the Tampa/St. Pete area with the same desire to cure those of us with bad cases of wheel gap.
