I think my bumper tuck thread is somewhere around...
I drilled a hole in the very back of the shock, then on as close to the back as possible on the side. One more on the other wide would have been a good idea. I think I used a 3/8 inch drill bit, for a decent sized hole.

hahaha, anything to help
BTW heres a pic of when I did the front bumper, I drilled the same hole plus two on the side when I did the back. Although I know I used a bigger drill bit for the back, because of the stupid annoying gell.

roofrack off, iS valance and new fogs back on, front turn signals, and side reflectors slightly tinted. i was going to drop the front a bit more, but i think i'll raise the back up a bit. i dont want to, but i am totally slammed, and dont want to make it completely undriveable. **edit** i also took the paint off of the kidneys and made them chrome again. and painted the rings around the headlights white to accent the wheels (subtle mods are hot)

Lipo looks good man! I just did the exact same thing myself... I did the rear a couple of days ago and did the front today on my day off. I thought it was going to be super easy, but I admit, it took me almost half a day to do each side. It was major PIA to compress the front and rear shocks. I ended up making this contraption to squeeze all of them down for about $2 at Home Depot.
Then I plasti-dipped the bumpers and stripped off the molding...
Here's the rear but excuse the rice tips... they were there when I bought the car. When I get a chance, I'm going to replace them with stock dual 46mm tips.

I used this stuff called plasti-dip. Unlike paint, you don't have to sand it or prime it--just make sure the surface is clean. It also won't flake or chip like paint, but if it does, you can either peel it off OR paint another layer on. I originally was using it to shadow line my chrome moldings, but was so impressed with it, I decided to paint my bumpers. It's about $7 a can at Home Depot.
damn. thats actually pretty awesome!

Car looks great Ian (320icar).
no, i haven't had a chance to clip more of the front yet. right now i've lopped off 3 coils in the rear, and 2 (or 2.5) coils in the front.
i have a complete set of stock springs for the car. and am toying with the idea of raising the back up a bit again (maybe only taking 2 coils off)
