What size are those wheels? 19 or 20"?

Are you going to add am aspec body kit? If not,one thing that would really make your car look way better for not much money is to add the mud flaps.

In my opinion, RL s that lack the mudflats have an unfinished look..like something is missing...add them and the car looks better. A spoiler would also look nice, they are not too expensive.

A full mit, however, would look great wi you lowered stance and big wheels....you could also do just the front lip and mudflaps....that looks pretty nice too.

Good luck. I like those wheels...they look good!

the wheels in the pics are 19's. yeah i have the aspic front and rear just trying to get my hands on the side skirts. i would like to do the rear trunk lip but i can wait for that they are around $250 i believe and then install. the car should be done around summer time i just had a lot of things pop up with the car that has been taking my money elsewhere. THANKS for your input though

Somebody else actually told me to do that, but they said if I do that. I definitely have to get my front and rear painted because it won't match. I talked to bruce and he says he has a set in stock so I'm definitely trying to see if he really does. That would save me such a headache

Finally got a chance to slap the wheels on just to see how everything fits. It. Rides great and fits perfect. What do you guys think? A-spec going on as soon as I fix my quarter panel and bumper. Still looking for the sideskirts.

Thanks man, they ride great I haven't hit any big bumps. I try to avoid if possible. They maintain a comfortable ride though.

How did you manage the dings in the exact same place/shape on bothe wheel wells?

The drop looks good. Have you bottomed out or scraped anywhere yet? How much lower are you?

Not a huge fan of the wheels. However, I don't have to drive it, so it's all good.

honestly i thought the same thing in the pics i looked in person there aren't dings there that i noticed. i haven't bottomed out yet but i have scraped in a few driveways nothing crazy though. the wheels i like them i think they fit the car pretty nice, i would like to try some other set of wheels out though. something black and a little more aggressive. as of now I'm fine with these. THANKS

Don't think about the price tag. If you want Mugen then get it. You lived once How low did you go with teins?

lol you're right about that. but i just lowered it as much as i could go. i wanna see if i can squeeze anything else out of them whenever i take the wheels off. i was thinking about painting my grill black like how you had yours but i think it goes well on your car because its white. idk if it will have the same effect on meteor silver metallic. did you lips come paint matched already like they advertise ?

I think the Mugen visors is a little thinner than oem. Kingmotorsports was willing on to give me 15% off for the visors since I got my kit from them but I passed the offer. Are you sure you want just the front mugen kit?????

Dude...at least your color is tolerable in the sun! NBP is super unforgiving...I wash mine once a week so I don't feel like it's a POS every time the bright Sofla sun shines on it.

Really? That's a nice little saving. And yeah I think the front would look alright, but that's just talking idk if I can really think about doing that just yet. I gotta get my car fixed and see how she takes care of me haha.
