First picture is great! Looks like a blast but a pain in the *** to clean. Do you have a clear 3m bra or you just dont mind nicks and chips? Otherwise next man
3m painters tape for the win.

Nice and dirty. Offtopic but are those rims 15"? What did you do to the brakes to get them to fit?

I have a bunch of rock chips, but those are all from the Interstate back when the car was a DD. I have plenty of other battle scars from RallyX.

The car is dedicated to racing, so I don't really care about the paint, I just take a touch up pen to it once in awhile.

Yup, 15" gravel wheels. Check out this thread:

Nope, I was a fraction of a second slower than the Saturn. I'm blaming it on my tires.

That sounds like a really great offer, but I'm going to have to pass.

Awwwww .... In Russia such an offer would be accepted with great honor

BTW how is the car handling after you changed the ride height? Notice any changes?
