New to the dropped club

Post by sagekai »

Its been a few weeks since I got dropped, but I've been super busy with school and haven't had a chance to take pics yet... but here it isThe handling is incredible and after a few days, you don't even notice the slightly stiffer ride anymore. Thanks to everyone for all the advice and help!

I used a set of Tein S-techs. And nope, no progessive bar... I would've liked to, but I'm still in high school and money is in limited supply lol

Welcome to the Drop Club. The ride is looking good. Question but is your lower cladding look a little dry or should I say ashy? Need some plastic conditioner to bring out a bit. Sorry just a question....nuvibe

I've been keeping an eye out for your Vibe around town Mrizzle, but still haven't spotted it unfortunately... I'm a senior at Westlake high right now and I live near Arboles & Erbes... You're over by Lynn right? I'm hoping to get limo tinted soon, but it might take a while b/c I'm saving up to go on a surf trip this summer. nuvibe- My plastic definately has some "weirdness"/dryness to it that I hate, until now I didn't realize there was anything that could be done. I'm going to try out Mother's Back to BlackThanks for all the compliments everyone!!!
