I have two friends whom ARE either Certified Mech or very mechanically inclined.. Either or, could do suspensions because of how they are mechanically inclined.

And update on the list..

I want to get some Eibach springs and SS Edition HHR shocks and struts, and drop it to the deck. (Researched parts and costs online)

Matte finish wheel vintiques to have them powder coated black, with chrome center caps. (Making contact with powder coating company in the near future)

Limo tint the back seat windows, the rear windows, and the back hatch and give the front window a 35% strip for a "sun shade" at the top. (Have a place lined up to do so.)

Paint the brake calipers, drums, and exhaust black. (Have the paint)

Purple LED underbody lights. (Have them)

Maybe get a body kit. (Less likely right now, but who knows.)

Sounds good Kev, You'll have to be very careful at night.

Adding 5% Limo tint to the existing tint will literally be like blocking out the rear windows, you may see headlights, but not much else..

Been there. No return trip necessary..

Sleeper, thats why I have trained myself to use my spotter mirrors, and not rely on my interior rear-view mirror..

Thanks for the word of knowledge.

Probably go with these.

I also want to get some Eibach or Goldline springs and drop it to the deck.

Paint the brake calipers, drums, and exhaust black.

Upgrade to more of a personal choice rim, as what I have is not quite my style.

Fresh coat of BGM possible.
Love it! Please keep us posted on your progress, and especially WHERE you went for parts, etc.
