Buy a set of lowering springs.The ends of the stock springs or lowered ones are tapered for it to seat squarely on the rubber mounts.You will definitely damage your suspension components and get a 'horseback like ride' if you cut.

1) has anyone tried clearing up their own sidemarkers on their bumper trim... if so.. how and any pictures?

2) how do you people feel about cutting your springs instead of buying lowering springs...... lack of performance or not?.... i heard they're fine if they are cut right

3) chrome trim? anyone blacked out their their chrome window sills around their door? is it expensive to do?

4) back rear widow clip is falling off? any solutions.. glue or buy new clips?

5) what do you people use to clean your sideskirts? i have tried many things to clean these skirts... but all has failed... any products worth trying?


i know these are a lot of questions to answer but if you could more power to you guys..... and thanks in advance.
