hey man,

The car looks awesome. Have you had any problems getting the tips on your HKS to sit level? My right tip sits higher than the left. It's really not that bad; however, it's unbelievably annoying.

I've tried pulling and stuff to try and get it to settle, but nothing significant resulted. I really don't want to have to bend a hanger, as suggest on this forum.

You gotta have a 13 year old assemble it (see picture above).
What I did was hold it all the way up against the bumper while Cody, the 13 year old boy, tighten the bolts down. Simple. Unless, of course, your HKS is bent out of shape abnormally, then the hanger would be the fix. But there is a good half inch play with my method above.

I'm sorry, did I say, 'shaved'? I meant to say, 'plugged'. Its not shaved yet until a body shop works on it. I wanted to see if I really like it before I completely delete it permanently. So far I'm liking it. Looking from behind it balance out the right and left side of the car.
