oh waste of time man, he shouldn't of filled it.
if you want to keep the original you gotta weld the wholes and respray the bootlid.

i've got grommets in there for now to see if i like the look.
if im happy with it still in a few months ill get it welded and sprayed.

im a big fan of no spoilers.

i have to raise the front, having too much trouble steering around corners and clipping the guards.

yeh, i can see how you'd have clearance problems on the front. she does sit a bit low. Looks good yes, but not that practical i suppose. the typhoons are 19's yes?

yeah they're 19's.

as soon as you turn the wheel a fraction too much you'll hit the guard.
and they've been rolled too.
so its just too impractical for me now.

anyone recommend springs i should go?
super lows are on now im pretty sure.
would going to lows raise it enough?

superlow springs it raise the front a little bit.
spring compressors a few spanners, flat head screw driver and a jack. no power tools are needed for the job.
its easy as to change them over yourself iv done mine about 3 times now.lol

if you need any more info on how to do the job step by step just ask.
