not my car, but I haven't lowered my car because I don't feel like dragging the front facia on the ground more than already happens. The curb at the bottom of my driveway is pretty standard and I still drag occationally.

does the extra drop in the back help offset the drop in the front by pivoting the car a little? I really would like to lower but I just don't want to destroy the front of the car...

I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to lower mine, but I don't want to drag the front end on every thing.

Newport Viper, that sounds great! What would you charge? (Mines perfect already) Heh heh, not really! Probably needs a clay bar treatment, 'cause its never been done. I also have some paint issues- The side sills have gotten a little beat up, with a dent underneath on one side, and a big DEEP scratch on the other one. There are also a few rock chip spots. Maybe you could tell me that best way to fix 'er up before detailing. Can you reccomend a good paint shop that knows their stuff with Viper paint? Or can I do it myself? I'm planning on taking the side sills off when I put headers on, so thats the time to get them fixed or repainted. So much to do, so much to do.....

For minor work like that, I really recommend. http://www.autorecon.com/

They took a golf ball size dent out of the wife's M45 and I couldn't believe it! Not a mark anywhere. It was very impressive work!

They do great work. Even have a poster of a Viper over the desk, when you walk in the door!

Let me know if you are headed to Crystal Cove anytime soon I will look at the car there. Or, let's get together for lunch to see it. I would assume in the 100 to 250 range depending on how bad it is. That is for inside and out......

Maybe, I should start a Viper detail shop in my unemployment times! It is tough work for my soon to be 39 year old back. ;)
