Default Need pictures please (lowered EF)

I need to see what a EF, preferably sedan, will look like dropped 2". I'm looking at Eibach Sportlines. I know this isn't "tech", so please dont move it, but it's more of a reference to see if I'll be able to drive around Toronto in the winter with it dropped. Also, any install tips would be helpful. Thanks.
Chris

It will look good, so I suggest you do it! Plus nothing looks worst than a 4x4 honda! Other than the Crv which is suppose to look like a 4x4....... Installation will be easy with the right tools and a hanes manual. Goodluck,

Plus they came cheap/used. I dont wanna spend 200 on springs, and then more on aligment. Just over a hundred lowered and aligned is just good for me. Nobodys got pics eh?

If it's only a beater, then I would'nt put any aftermarket parts on it period. Just change the oil and drive it, and put the other money into your other honda!

um, i just got a chubby over that pic. That is the nicest sedan I have ever seen. I am not a sedan person, but I want that. Perfect tint, nice paint shine, even making me like the flat black wheels which I have NEVER liked. Until now. LOL. sorry i cant provide a pic, just want to give props on a nice *** car!!

EDIT: after more pics posted, i see the wheels are a bronze color! My bad, first pic looks flat black to me, still very nice. I couldnt firgure out why I was saying I liked black wheels. Lol. (Sorry if I offend anyone saying that, but I have seen one crx that I liked black wheels on, and no other honda)

here u go... the first one is w/ the drop of 2'', i measured my door handle & since u can use the rear door handle for a "keyless" type on the crx, i'm sure the dimentions are the same... & in the 2nd pic it has a 3 ''... it looks as if if u had the 3, your mud flaps would scrape

Thanks guys for everyones help. I dropped it on Friday with the help of Janz3n.. or the other way around I'm not sure lol. The strut fork bolt broke when I was tightening it down.. so we had to take it off, then carefully took the broken bit out without ruining any threads... only to find out nobody sells that hardware so we got a high strength hex bolt and lock nut and drilled the threads out so we could use that lol. Apparently a common problem around here. Works well, turned out I got brand new H&R Sports (1.9F, 1.8R" drop) for a mere $75CDN from Honda!! As for what I like better, my Cutlass or my Honda, totally different... For cruising and feeling good my Cutlass, such a good summer cruiser, and for a little around town take anywhere car that handles like a go kart.. my Honda. I like them both but for different reasons. I have alot more money in my Cutlass than I do in my Honda. I'll post pictures of the drop soon. I highly recommend H&R Sports, they arent harsh with stock struts, isnt bouncy, and I didnt end up with too much camber. Thanks again.
Chris

Thanks! They look great. Really made me wanna drop it. And yeah... with the 3" they most likely would scrape. I cant fit my steeltoe boot under the front flaps. lol. Any lower I'd be scared of smashing my gas tank or muffler off stuff.
