Today I raised rear for about 10mm and added wheels spacers. 

I also replaced exhaust center section that was on my red car back in the day,luckily for me this center section was replaced few years back and it still looks new. I still need to get new rear muffler but for now I'm using Magnaflow that was on Nick's car.

Unbelievably as it might sound I've found set of Euro side skirts in US that were bargain!!!

They do need to be repaired in few places but overall I'm satisfied. He also had extra set of bumpers but unfortunately he kept it at he's local body shop where they got tired of tripping over it and on the end they end up in the dumpster. I wasn't happy when I received that information :-(
