Wow, they drop pretty good.

Do you have anything heavy in the trunk, like a system?

The front needs to go lower.

Nah, the contour of the front fender matches the tire perfectly--a clean and subtle look. I wonder how much the rear would come up without the junk in the trunk.

Thanks for the pics, Ames.

it'll come up not quite an inch with an empty trunk. I have to take my stereo out soon to sand and paint the box, so I can take another pic then

Side blinkers were added for the 2002.5 models.

Do these blinkers actually "blink"? (nailbyt)

Yes they do, believe it or not. I've really wanted to wire my 2002 non-blinking markers to blink because it really seems like a safety issue, but it seems like a lot of trouble.

Lookin good, Mr Ames.

It wasn't that hard to wire up (although I do have the actually side markers).

It's a great safety feature to have the side bumper blinkers actually blink.

Here's a video of it:

The daytime flash is w/o head/parking lights on.

The nighttime flash is w/ the lights on.

I wanna get rid of my side markers (ughdance) my bumper is cracked and faded and chipped so I was thinking of replacing it with a 2003 bumper... but I'm poor so I don't think I will... lol
