I lean towards more liking it cuz it's dropped. Change the rimz though.

I don't remember what it looked like before. Drop's surprisingly even... a lot of times on an EK the rear is slightly higher than the front. On mine it's like that, even with 40lbs of speakers in the trunk.

Wheels are okay... I personally don't care for anything but silver on a red car, but I guess they're alright.

Now, did you lower it the *right* way? How does it ride/handle?

Depends... if the rims are 16s, they're definitely too big. If they're 15's, it's probably about right.

Take better pics... on second glance, the car's growing on me a little. Originally I thought it was Milano Pink, but your second stock photo shows that it actually has pretty good red paint. Better pics may help my perception.

Also (and I can't tell 100% from your pics), but it looks like you have some headlight oxidation. You might try cleaning it with some plastic headlight polish. Mothers and Meguires both sell good, relatively cheap products for that. I think I've got Blue Magic or something, and it works well too. I use it like twice a year to keep them looking new.

i think ive mentioned this in one of your previous threads, but if your mirrors and sidemoldings are painted, so should your sideskirts.... get a 96-98 CTR front lip, PAINT IT... cuz black is ghey... and get some replica SIR or CTR lights and grill... then you will be pimpin....

i dont see anything wrong with those wheels.... everyone flamming u about your wheel choice is just saying that cuz the new "cool" is tiny looking wheels lol.

New pics are much better. Definitely brings out the Milano... I don't see a lot of MR cars that look that good without a respray. Keep it garaged.

How much did you drop it? It looks like it's only about 1", because you've still got about a 2-3 finger gap. I would personally say drop it another 1/2" if you have adjustables of any kind... but then again, I think 2" is perfect.

For real? You realize they come like that from the factory, right? It's not like he half-assed a paintjob. Mine's got painted mirrors and unpainted skirts, and it was built like that. I mean, it's not the best looking, but it's not something that my eye is ever immediately drawn to as a hideous car-ruiner.

...That said, I'm planning on painting mine one of these days.
