Oh man I cant remember but I think 26" square or the front maybe 1/8th lower. I do think the rear was 26 inches from the tip of the center part of the fender to the ground.
That sounds right because my car is 27" all around. It was 26" when I was at stock height minus 35mm
Here are some close ups of my front and rear, I have not adjusted my car since the initial drop-- I think its about a 25mm drop or just a bit more than that from stock or 1 inch. The issue with air suspension is depending on how you last parked or stopped or if the wind blows too hard (LOL) the drop changes ever so slightly:
PlastiDip. I try to do most of my mods that can be removed easily back to stock.
Ive got Diamond White with the night package. I was thinking about doing the same thing with my grill as well. What colour dip did you use? And can it be made gloss to match the other black pieces on the front end. Lastly did you dip this piece on the car or take the bumper off?

Thx.
Could you post a pic of the side of the car, please. I, too, have diamond white and I'm retrofitting my idea of a night package piece by piece since it didn't have it from the factory.

Which is easy via vinyl wrap and even the NP is a bit off IMHO not even delivering the rear strip in black along with the door handles.
First on my list is the chrome-trim around the windows. I'm being quoted $600 to wrap that .
I was also assuming the NP covered the chrome trim that resembles a running board but I see here it doesn't (I think)--they were quite selective with the whole "night" part weren't they.
The lip spoiler and wing mirrors aren't on my list since I like them to disappear into the overall shape but the door handles are/were--I see yours are like mine; I'm surprised on that one, too. Regardless, sure looks nice to me!

I was toying with the idea of dipping the grill in the front gloss black and wrapping the chrome strip across the truck to match the white. My car came with carbon mirrors and trunk spoiler so I will leave those alone as it’s not worth wrapping them...

I used the black Plasti Dip and put a couple of coats of the Glossifier over it. The Glossifier is a little tricky to apply with a smooth regular coat. If you look closely at mine you can see areas that are slightly glossier than others. To me it is acceptable and I think as the coating settles with time you should notice is less. Shines it up a little, not nearly as glossy as painting nor wrapping it. I just masked off the grill and took about 2-3 hrs with drying time.
The sailboat means the car has disconnected the engine from the transmission and that you are just rolling free. Only available when the automatic start/stop is on.
