what do you guys think? (pics)

Sup fellas and ladies,

Besides the obvious, that I need to drop my car, what do you guys think? I just zainoed the car this weekend so she looks extra clean:







Some may notice that I only took the pics from the passenger side of the car, thats because I was on a slight hill and if you look at the pics from the driver side the gap is unbearable and I was too embarassed to post the pics. btw, the wheels are 18x7.5 with a 42 offset and I rub a little in the back...part of the reason I haven't lowered it.

I know! I need to roll the fenders first and then see if I still rub. Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I think a wing (from the dealer) on the trunk makes a huge improvement. You asked

you just need to cut off the plastic section of the rear fender, or the part that is on the rear bumper. i have 18X7.5 with 42 offset also, and thats all i needed with a comptech drop/tokico blues. car looks great man too!

WDP tends to sometime yellow. if its noticeable, you can take it to the dealer and they will msot likely re-paint it for free.

I did ask and I agree that a spoiler would make the car look sportier. I can live with or without it but agree that it helps. The m5 lip spoiler is nice too but sometimes I think its too subtle. The kit I can live without although I admit it looks nice. Personally I think a drop and a spoiler would make the car look awesome.

brado, I'll look into that. Some people have told me that as well but none had the same size wheels.

Are you sure you can live without the kit? It'll make a big difference by making the car look lower than it is and you probably won't want to lower it. Also, it will take your eyes away from the fender well gap. Just my opinion. Same color as mine, check my sig for pics.

I've seen an ABP TLS with the kit and I just didn't think it was worth it for me. The car looked awesome no doubt but I didn't like it any better than mine. I rather get the springs and possibly a spoiler and bit the kit. I admit I like it but not so much more that it makes worth getting.

To me the TL looks very plain without a spoiler of some type and it really needs to be dropped. Personally I like the OEM wheels better than the ones shown in the picture.
