I have the same little rust spot on the bottom in the back on the drivers side. It's like the only rust on my whole car. It pisses me off lol.

I am running road race headers, with streetport center section and a BomZ n1 muffler on the back,
it is really loud but sounds great.

My car is lowered, I installed illumina shocks, B&G springs and the kosies all in the last week, I still think they will settle a little, I have had no bottoming problems but the ride is fairly stiff. I love it though.

I hope they settle allittle more, I cant stand fender gap.
