Man, I've lowered so many cars that I'm pretty much over it unless someone knows of a way to remove spacers or the like so I could keep stock springs / dampers / bushings I'm going to keep the current height. I'm also not sure that the improvement would be as good on a car that already has a near full under tray

That is my next mod (first was headlight that allowed me to see at night and happened to save some watts) I haven't decided if I'm going to use .040 Aluminum or .080 (the 2 common thickness in my shop) yet, but it is going to happen.

Does anybody have a good setup for plugging the access hole for the tire valve stem?

I would like to to do something to cover the rear axle beam, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. It is pretty decent under there, but there is some room for improvement.

SWEET, I really love the car, and as mentioned elsewhere everybody likes the car, I even had a Brodozer driver impressed by it at a local meet.
