what would you guys recommend doing if i did lower it. my friend was telling me not to do lowering springs as it can blow the seals in the shocks. true? he suggested coilovers which are 2,300 buck which will never happen

and i forgot all about that giant torx bit on the seatbelt, haha. i wound up buying a little rack of torx sockets at a yard sale for a buck to get mine off, i had a really bad dent in my passenger 1/4 panel.
Lowering isn't as easy as you think!
Its better to have everything changed over, don't use the old shocks for that specific reason. The lower you are, the stiffer you need to be so you don't bottom out.

the headlights are dipped on the outside. the are replacement headlights i got brand new for 55 bucks with all new bulbs. i taped them off dipped the black peeled them while the dip was still wet. then did the smoke, overspray on the black does not affect it, it only thickens the dip i then let the smoke dry did like 6 coats of the smoke 2 of the black i had to cut the smoke along the tape as i let that dry if you don't cut from the tape it will peel with the tape.

fyi I did it twice as the smoke looks bad if you do coats too thick the first time i could see runs and it looked bad the redone time and current dip job is on the second page. make sure you take them out when you do it as well and be careful putting them back in as dip can be taken of or damaged by the sharp edge of the fender
