Prob looks lower than it really is due to it being on a decline

My car is just as low, no problems in the snow. Hitting big chunks of snow/ice that fall over peoples flaps is killer on the CF lip though

thanks for the comments. I'm gonna have it tinted soon. what else should I do, exterior wise?

i'd get a lip for it but it would be too low. I already scrape on my driveway everytime.

I still want to swap taillights, but no takers so far.

Great! 1st '06 headlights I have seen cleared. looks super good on the black. Now you need to get rid of the orange bulbs. Use the mirored (turns yellow when on) or the LED clear off/yellow on bulbs (faster flash with these ~ wakes the sleepers up!).

Mirrored Bulbs ~ www.powerbulbs.com
LED's ~ www.autolumination.com

Then ALL hints of orange/amber will be gone :-)
