Thank you for the welcome.
I do have one question. I see that the H&R cup kit lowers the car by 2"
is there a way to lower the front a bit more?
I will never cut springs usually
but I heard some one said you can cut half a coil to make the front lower with out messing anything up??
ya I just got the car. so I might have lots of questions in the next few days.. :p

Welcome to the board shyguy. I think you'll be adding a bit more to that list, this is just the begining. You said you were looking at Brabus lip and spoiler. You have any hookups on it? If you do, let me know.
Thanks, Mike

Good to see you too.
I've been bz wit school and hadnt had time to followup on whats going on in the forums. By the way, your ride looks much better with the H&R cup kit!

This is already a vast improvement. The previous years' "Classic" models came with steel rims and plastic wheel covers!!

More choices, yes.
When I bought my C240 back in 2002, there was the "Classic", "Elegance", and "Sport" models.
The "Elegance" model is the equivalent of the C240 sold in the USA.
The black door handles and black grill with only 2 chrome lines are the most obvious signs of the "Classic" models. Prior to 2004, plastic wheel covers were the norm (which REALLY cheapens the look of the car). Cloth seats with no wood trimming on the doors were also standard.

heheh. A Macross fan? No, I'm afraid I don't have Hikaru's or Roy's VF picture. You can check out www.macrossworld.com and see if you find something there.
