Right on.

It's funny to me how many Si and Element combos there are around here. My family has an Element, as well.

Please tell me you're going to lower the car soon! It really does look like a minivan with the low-pro tires, smallish wheels, mud guards, and no drop. It's still pretty nice and I like the wheels, but it needs to be lowered IMO.

Nice.
I drive an 03' Si, wife drives an 03' CR-V.
Thought about the Element, too bad it's only a 4 seater.
I mean, damn, even my Si seats 5, a 4 seater SUV?
What was honda thinking?

I installed some Ground Controls last night to get rid of the 4x4 look. Its much better now.

BTW hows the ride, any noise with the GC's looks great.

The ride is fine. Its a little stiffer than stock. Right now I have them cranked all the way up. I had it lower before and it was a little bouncy because Im riding on the stock shocks. It looks killer slammed but its too low for my daily driving requirements. How low does the drop look? 1-1/2" ? Thats the minimum drop they will do. I wanted a Prokit/CTR drop but it seems to have gone past that.

There is no noise at all. The road noise from the tires is increased a little but I think thats due to lowering the car took it out of alignment. I think people were having the terrible noise issues because they could have been running the wrong kit or they installed it incorrectly. Make sure you get the Si specific Ground Control kit or it won't work. The upper pearch won't fit into place.

I'm going to get some shocks as soon as they are available because I can tell that the stock shocks don't like working that compressed.

What's the darkness of your tint(%)? Any problem with the pigs?:)

I forgot the % the tint is but its medium dark. The choices were light, medium, medium dark, and dark. I was going to get dark all the way around but there was a big jump from medium dark to dark. Its Formula One tint film full metallic. Its not supposed to fade. I havn't gotten pulled over yet but I've only had the windows tinted for about 3 weeks.

Man call me crazy but i want an element so bad!! I am trying to find the link for it becuase i lost it. But there was one that Honda fixed up where they paitned all the plastic peices and they put panels over the side windows and it looked so sick. Then put some fat ass 18s or 19s on it!! Oh man its a straight cruisin car. It would be cool to totally race out the EP and daily drive a pimpin element!!!! OH MAMAA!!!!


SWEET RIDES MAJOR PROPS ON BOTH CARS!!!!!!

That would be the Studio E concept, if I'm not mistaken... here you go...
