i got alot more pics but pics of while it was being done over a couple years. im going to take better pics this weekend. i couldnt lower it anymore or the header would hit.

thanks for the opinions. its pretty much the way its going to stay except for window visors that im expecting in May. Now its just motor, suspension, and brake upgrade time.

looks great aside from the skirts. jdp is the best lip for 90-91. i want one baaaaaad. but 400$ when all is said and done is just too much for a lip for me. maaaaaybe one day
looks nice though. i like seeing da's in factory colors other than red, white or black

well, i meant oem OPTIONAL. from the optional kit? second favorite lip for the 90-91. jdp is first though. but ye, i'm canada so shipping is what takes up the brunt of the cost. i wish i could slide across the boarder. would just throw it on there and drive across haha. no duty.
but anyways, keep up the good work. car looks great
