SLAM IT, it's all justified now!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! Also I have a little problem I was hoping maybe someone could chime in and help me with. At this height it seems like I scrape the underside of my car on pretty much everything, so I'm in the process of putting a skidplate on to protect everything important. My question is how do you guys prevent the bolts holding the skidplate on from being sheared off? I feel like after scraping a bunch of times the bolts would get sheared down and be completely useless. The last thing I want is to install this skidplae and not be able to take it off if I ever have to. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Cut the heads off the bolts and weld them to the skid plate on both sides, drill holes in the front subframe for the bolts to pass thru (or use existing holes if possible) . And for the covering the frame rails if needed just have a 90 degree bend on each side so you can bolt it to the side of the frame. And for the rear use the same method as the front but it might be more difficult finding a place to have the bolt pass thru the subframe to put a nut on the other side. Car looks great and good luck with the build!!

Countersunk allen-head bolts and some machining of your plating for them?

I just went air.

Thanks for the advice guys! Hopefully I'll get the plate on this weekend. As for going on air... I've thought about it alot but theres just something about driving around static lower than some bagged cars park is just badass to me

It is, but it is a no go for me atm. But therefore I want it as low as possible next year.
So that will never be as low as my WRX was. I just have no other choice with my Daily Family Racer.


Function and so good as it gets form lol.

But yours is so good to look at!

Newest addition to the evo is a JM Fab o2 dump out of the hood. I absolutely love this thing it's retardedly loud at full throttle and even shoots a flame every once in a while.
Easily one of my favorite things I've done to this car so far... Here's some pics of it installed:
