Description:
I know she doesn't look like much now, but I'm still working on her. I'm doing all the work myself apart from the paint job. I'm not doing any engine mods to her, just the cold air filter I installed. Also gonna be Installing an aftermarket Muffler to give it a nice Sound

after looking at it in a photo I decided to split the kit like so and drop it 3 inches, gives a better look and the bottom edges near the tires line up to be at the same height as the side skirts!
