Well after living with my sawblades being; faded, curbed, and scratched.. I decided to do something about it to kill some time... Well the results were actually pretty good, and it makes the car look completely different. In addition to painting my heavy old rims I re-installed my old warped and scuffed pre89 lip and made her look almost new again... I snapped these pictures just before the rain came today so forgive the cellphone shots, I will re-wash my car and get some pics with my d70 sometime soon, but it gives you an idea of how they look now!

:) thanks guys, yes suspension is in the works! I think it will look great with those graphite metallic saws when the car is sitting right on them... they will do for a while untill I get some nicer wheels..

I like the saw's and I think they look great!!! You know if you are looking for a cheep way to lower the front of your car an inch or so to match up with the stance of the back all you need to do swap out your front struts with some rear struts and use all your front hardware.:icon_bigg

da89soup.. hmm, that might be an option... so all I need to do is take the spring and strut designed for the rear and put some on the front? I am pulling a turbo motor out of a wrecked car (the motor has been fully built with all new toyota parts, a total of $7000 was put into it! it had just finished the break in and then an f150 pulled out and bent the front end in up to the rad core support)... So I'll pull the rear suspension out of it and install it on my front...
