Like how did I get it? I entered their contest and ended up winning, so I got one for free. I'll post close up pictures tomorrow / tomorrow night. It's pretty easy you just stick it on, I used some clips to hold it over night and I haven't had any problems with it yet. Not necessarily a permanent mod, we'll see how it looks after my car is lowered tomorrow.

once you lower it its going to get beat up pretty fast and look tore up. my friend has one on his TL and he keeps having to replace it every so many months. You can go to lowes and buy a 100ft roll for cheap of the same exact stuff. It just a garage liner.

Here's a shiity Instagram and iPhone picture of it. Gonna do a proper shoot with it later, maybe some time this weekend.

Definitely feels lower, no scrapes yet and I think I should be fine for winter since the front is still reasonably high. The rear however is tucked and has a bit of negative camber to it.




There's still a decent amount of gap at the front, but we'll see if it'll settle more. Either way, not gonna cut a coil or anything like that.

So here's the pics as promised:

Close up of the front

Really you just stick it on, there's nothing else to it. Haven't experienced any tearing or damage to it yet after the lowering.

Ya it's a flash tune from Eurocharged. It's only $299. There's a thread on here posted by them with the price and the gains. Mine will give me +17hp +15tq if I recall correctly.

Awww man. Got 13mm spacers for the rear with 40mm lugs. When I installed them it made a mad thunking sound, apparently the lugs are too long. Updates soon, took the lugs back to the supplier to have one of his guys grind it down.
