Side markers coming for sure
It came from a state that had front plates so it was missing the plugs but i'm getting them and repainting the bumper in Feb.
But I like the mud guards, very functional. Maybe I'll paint them one day.

What color is your interior? Black?

You should black out your front grill and tint your windshield:

oh and i saw you debadged already to, painting your rear emblem to match the front if you decide to black out your grill will make the front and the rear match.

Which coilovers did you get, Type 1 or 2? How's you ground clearance at that height? Your car has the look and stance I want. I don't want to slam my car to the ground, just give it a nice stance while keeping it's ability to drive with four people in the car.

Type 1's, they come stiffer in the rear so four people is no prob. Clearance is ideal, barely scrapes on anything, can go over most speed bumps without issue. It rides a little stiffer than stock but not bouncy. Went at about 2" w/18x9.5 +35 in rear. and about 2.25" w/18x9.5 +35 in front 235/40 all around with NO rubbing.
