Before/After QA1's & heater hose mod, ss hood...

Here's a before and after. Before is stock suspension and hood. After is QA1 R's up front with stock springs and CE shocks in the back with stock springs and heater hose mod. The SS hood needs to be modified some it doesnt fit right and still needs to be painted. (the whole car will get paint soon). What do you guys think?

BEFORE:



AFTER:

That gap that was in front of the front tires in the first "before" pic looks crazy! Just doesn't look normal to me lol. The car has a nice stance now

Thanks for the compliments guys! Actually that was an Edelbrock sticker before. And the Hooker sticker is both Hooker Long tubes and catback. The headers and ORY-Pipe hang pretty low the ORY is usually the only thing that scrapes the ground. The streets are seriously horrible around here. The heater hose mod is like the guy said above. Take the rear isolators out that the rear springs sit on and slip a piece of heater hose around the first coil, it drops the rear about 3/4".
