Black SmartMann Body + Lowered

My Black SmartMann Body Kit is Done! Thanks to Dan at Smartune for the kit and the pictorial instructions.

Just finished gluing on the side skirts tonight. This kit was very easy to install, perfect fit, all the holes and tabs lined up. I also lowered the car with Eibach Springs, purchased from Tirerack.

The Doug Thorley Header's Center Exhaust fits perfectly, Thanks Elie.

All that's left is the Lorinser Speedy rims, they should arrive by sea in 30 days.

What's the difference? Quality? Lowering height? Never really examined the different spring options.

the eibachs are a very minimal drop where as the H&R give it a very nice stance. I dont wanna spend 190 on springs that only lower 0.8 inches in the rear

Great job Tiger! I have the same setup planed. I picked up my triple black smart last saturday and my s-mann kit is being painted now. The Eibach springs and DTH side exit are here and ready for the install. I'm going to wait till next year on wheels hoping there will be more choices.
