from what i have read on the boards you will want to replace your struts at the same time while you have it all out anyway. kyb gr-2 is the strut of choice. i guess they are the OEM replacements.
as for the lip, i remember reading that there is a scratch guard stuff you can use to keep the scratches from showing. it's supposed to work really well and is suggested on lips and splitters and such.
all in all i wish that my car looked like yours. it's almost there smile.gif

as for the sticker concept i will try to take some pics and post them tonight just so you can see. it actually doesn't look all that bad. but then again it's just a temporary fix.

Things start to get a bit expensive when you start talking replacing the struts also kindasad.gif

I had a look at the KYB oz website and they don't seem to have the same model names as in the US. Would my best bet be to ring a suspension place, tell them I want some tein s-techs and get them to recommend some struts? Actualy, there's a suspension place across the road from my work. I'll be fitting them myself of course...

That scratch guard stuff sounds interesting. Will have to check it out. Some pics of the stickers would be appreciated.

Dude those are sweet! I was thinking of doing a similar thing, but with heaps more LEDs so that you can't notice the individual dots so much. But then I bought the JDMs off you and was like screw it these will be cool enough. You have to show pics if you get them!

True the JDMs do suit the silver well. Thanks for the comments man.
