For the rear it honestly took longer to take the wheels off of the car than to get the springs out and change them. The front took a little longer because I had to go to my friend's shop to use their spring compressor. I'd say you could do it by yourself.

Speaking of springs... I still gotta decide if I wanna stick with my coilovers or but the Pedders and ss/tc struts/shocks combo on or not. I LOVE my coilovers, but a less harsh ride isn't a bad thing. I'm just worried that the Pedders wont drop the car as much as I'd like and I wont be happy with it. Decisions, decisions. Thoughts?

Change of plans. Money is a bit short right now, so I'm gonna sell them and get some different ones later.

HIValicious

Ross, I love the way your car sits with the coilovers.

Couldn't pick a better day to go wingless. Double sided tape should come off rather easily.

Shez

You're right. Maybe I'll try today too.

Got the bolts off easily, but they used like a really big pad of the double sided stuff.

Shez

Yeah, I know. I've taken mine off before but never removed the padded ****. I'll get some goo gone before I try it. Plus I gotta fill my holes with some plugs or something too.

It's done!


Car looks so much better from the side. It was a PITA to get the tape off. I have an interesting way to cover the holes from a car I saw at the CED meet.

Shez

What did you use?

It's a metal rectangular oval badge.

Vik will know what I'm talking about.

Shez

Oh I know what you're talking about. Where'd you get them?

Blue_Balt

iTrader: (1)

Gonna go out in a bit to get them.

I figure that it looks decent plus, it's much more cost effective than going to a body shop and have the holes welded shut and repainted.

I may just keep my springs after all..

Shez

I honestly think it kind of looks like crap. It's just like a huge metal circle on your trunk...I don't know. I'm gonna try using those little circular tabs for plugs and then color matching them and see how those work out.

Blue_Balt

iTrader: (1)

I'll try that first.

HIValicious

I used electrical tape for mine.

Shez

I'll use that if the plugs don't work out. I don't even wanna see what's under that wing right now lol.

HIValicious

I had the low-rise which wasn't so bad. Heard the high-rise is worse underneath.

Shez

Well I had a low rise then went to a high rise so I guess I got the best of both worlds.
