Lookin good. I dont think I have seen those 1 piece headlights on a Sol before but they look awesome if you ask me! The only thing I can suggest to you is to find some new suspension because ive done the ebay coilover thing and its dangerous to say the least. It might lower your car but its lame quality and is the main reason I totalled my hatchback
/\ true its very dangerous. my friend had a set of obx-r slipon coils and they caused him to almost crash numerous times. he gave them to me for putting some stock springs back on his car and i turned around and sold them for $30. my exact statement to the guy i sold them to b4 he bought them "will they lower your car? sure. would i trust them on the car that my family rides in? no." just my opinion. but your car is nice i must say. looks a hell a lot better than mine! lookin great though man keep up the work :thumbup:
hmm wierd, i honestly like my ebay coilovers alot... havent givin me one prob yet and actually help my cars handling alot
/\ the reason that my friend had all his problems was that they wore out his struts quickly and he kept drivin the car with wornout struts. his springs were "very" stiff, they may have not even been made for his car, eh who knows he was a ricer at the time so that explains it i guess. but anyway hope you have better luck than him man. is that chrome trim around the amber corner of your headlights or is that just a reflection? been thinkin of gettin close to the same style, looks good.
A word of advice about the Azenis RT615 tires...get some winter tires and/or rain tires. I found out this weekend that in hard rain, hail and snow the azenis are basically worthless unless you wanna spin your tires up the side of a mountain
