Been a while since I posted here

Well, it's been about 5 months since I posted a thread here, so I figured it was about time to make a thread. I know bluebatmobile would like the pics of my overlays in this site
Anyways, here is my car 5 months ago:

and here it is now:






All comments, good and bad, are welcome

i like the overall look of the car, but i think gold or silver oz's would've contrasted better with the cgp to really make it pop

definitely. It was not fun driving to work yesterday. I could feel that my car was a 4x4 The drive to work tonight should be much better Until I rub of course

Ya, they would have contrasted a lot, but I am going for more of a clean flow kind of look. I am considering jdm lights which would really pop out on my car, but I will save that decision for last and just get the last few things on my exterior mod list before I decide on the lights

Love the dark theme you are going for.

Any plans for a body kit?

Either the 06 Euro R or the OEM 06 Body kit would really complete the look.

that's also the route i'm looking to go in. black out wheels. the ones i'm checking out have blackout wheels with machined lip and a version with all black... i was worried that the all-black wheels wouldn't look very good but thanks to you, i can "visualize" what my car will look like! thanks! awesome job. i agree that the jdm lights would make your car look smooth as butter.

The Buddy Club N+ has adjustable dampening, correct? Try stiffening it up. That's how I got rid of my rubbing with Tein SS. I have the same wheel/tire specs as you, although you may be dropped a little more than I am.

Yes I do. they are 235/40/18 S.Drives

I will try to get some pics of the black lugs tomorrow morning or on Monday. They look much better though, and it makes the wheels look bigger.

Love em, I haven't even broken them in and they already have a lot of grip. I take corners pretty fast and the tires don't make any noise at all Hopefully they won't get burned up too fast

They do, but you need to buy the 06-08 ballasts to make it work.

Car looks good, defintitely better than stock. Not really feeling the smoked taillights, but to each his own.
