I say add side skirts as first choice. Then do the rest if you want. Definitely paint the bumperetts.

These are pictures of mine with the Elbachs on.
I think your photoshop is low for the elbachs but not for coilovers.

dj,

I would say do the bumperettes first, then the diffusers, then the skirts, then the springs ( start from the back and work your way up )

DJ-
I say springs w/ the free install.

Then call/web paintscratchcom, give your paint code and get a can of spray in your color and do the bmperettes yourself for $20

win - win as I see it

DJ, your photoshop drop looks exactly as low as my car right now.

Would you be able to drive that in the snow?

BTW, Are you wheels always that freakin clean? I love the reflection of the Caliper off the lip!


P.S. Everything you listed is a must..........so just pick one.........you gotta start somewhere.

Springs.... Cosmetics are nice, but the springs will actually improve the handling a bit.
