Yah i dont think im looking to slam it as much as close the gap. Thanks. So negative camber will be wearing one side of the tire right? Ill take a pic of rims backside once i get my hubcentric rings.

As long as you don't get crazy with lowering it, the negative camber will be very manageable. If you're going to paint the lowers, make sure you use some adhesion promoter to prepare the plastifc first, otherwise the paint won't stick right and will chip off in no time.

You don't have to go crazy lowering to screw yourself. I'm down 2.5" in the front and get from spring to mid-fall out of front tires if I'm lucky.
Are there any camber kits for these cars? And I see what your sayin now about the visually lower now that im on my computer. On my phone it doesn't show sigs. It looks great. What kind/color paint did you use? Was it hard?

I went to a local custom paint shop and gave them my factory paint code. JBJ is right that the facelift silver (LY7W silver) can be matched directly with a Duplicolor silver. My pre-facelift LY7M paint code can't. The shop mixed the paint based on my paint code and put it in aerosol cans for me. Factory paint is two stage (base coat plus clear coat) and they mixed it the same way. I got four cans of paint and two cans of clear coat. I masked the whole car off, and after cleaning and drying the lowers, I hit them with the adhesion promoter CCA4 mentioned (Advance Auto). Did two coats of that, followed by four coats of filler primer (also at Advance), then four coats of base followed by four of clear. Took about 8-10 hours but I'm glad I did it.Originally Posted by Sheasta

As for the jambs, the lowers mask them off to a point and leave a nice cut line. With 2.5 years, mine has a couple chips in the line but it looks good and certainly doesn't look like a hack job. Here's the cut line.
