yeah i have the targa top shades, i dont use them except in summer when i get roasted. they let quite a lot of light into the car which i like. guess i can leave them on where they belong.
 
Hmm didnt think of that car of the month, might give it a crack soon thanks for that.
cheers

and yeah were part of the aeroware lip mob, the underside of mine looks like a cheese grater now lol.

I've been discussing ride heights with Jay lately, because I'm worried about damaging the front lip as you just said.
Is the damage on your front lip only underneath where it's not visible, or is it slightly visible even when you're not looking at it from down near the ground?
 
Another thing, where did you source your Work Equip rims from?

THE LIP is scratched underneath, but if you looks really carefuly from certain angles, on your knees or trying to get some tricky shots, you can just make it out. i have some extra paint that i got from the panel shop so a small touch up in the right places will fix that
if your riding low its going to happen eventually. i have speed bumps on my street and have to crawl over them everytime the car comes out. 
 
The equips were bought locally, db8 and gorilla have some.
mine are 17x8, 9 +35 offsets.
the rear has a 5mm spacer on it, the front i havent put it in yet cause i cant get the jack underneath the car in the front.
spacers are for when the coilovers are fitted cause my tire has a rim protector which just hits the coilovers.

its easy man, just time consuming took me a good 8 hours over 2 days to finish it off.
lots of it was sanding the piping to make it shiny.
The cleaning i did with a combination of wd40, brake cleaner and degreaser, lots of microfibre towels and chemical guys bare bones undergarraige spray.
 
cheers
