I'll try and get the pics on here tuesday...cause I have to borrow my friends camera...so give a little time and I'll post them!!!! Also I won't be getting the bags for a while so you will be waiting!!!! The reason why I didn't get the j-specs tails and the 97 center piece was because then I couldn't do the light up mod!!!! Click the link and then scroll down and on the left side there is a link that MVC-005V.MPG Click on that and it should show you what I mean!!!

click here Also they cost alot just for the top to be white...it isn't really worth the money!!!!

How can the ride quality be bad when you are riding on AIR???? But if it is then it can't be no worse than riding on structs that are no good any more!!!! So no matter what ...the way I see either way I loose quality...so I might as well go with the one that is more functional!!!

The other mods that I plan on doin to it is...
All 4 Racing seats w/4 point harness(maybe)
Air(struts)=airbags...but in strut form
Screen
Sucide hood
last (maybe) Enginge swap or turbo added to this engine 1.5L
Thats all for right now...

well the descriptions that i've heard of the ride quality w/ airbags is that it feels like you're sitting on a waterbed. although like i said, that's what i've heard...i've never experienced it myself (but just by looking at a car/truck with airbags, they're pretty "bouncy"). i'm just trying to give you a heads up bro.

if you're thinking about getting air cylinders, instead of bags, i'll send you a link to a guy we know that had nothing but problems with the air cylinders (as well as all of the guys he knows that had them).

oh, my bad bro. i thought you were opting for air cylinders. i haven't heard anything about the airstruts, but i'll ask around and i'll post about it on sportsnimports to see if anyone has had experience with them.
