Nice ride.

Personally, I like the amber corners in the front. Clearing them out makes the front look dull.

Looks great Vin! It's funny, every time you post a pic thread you get the same comment about the drop. But in all honesty, it's all about being practical. I think either way your ride still looks hot! Congrats

I've actually considered removing the rear spoiler for the lip myself, but figured any drilled holes may make it impractical.

I was debating aspec over RonJon. Went with Ron Jon after I saw about 2 aspecs in two miles while driving one day.

If I had known I were gonna get the ronjonkit, I would DEFINITELY have gone with silver, rather than black (like my own car). Those cuts are so visible and aesthetically appealing. Your car is pretty damn amazing.

For my money, it's pretty clear that headlights are better looking without amber than with.

you're not the only one, i liek them too, but the damn machineist was 3 months behind on every order. And they cost SOOO damn much, even for me to have them built. they cost about $1000 per wheel.

Funny you said that. I have what has been described as a "slight bend" in two of mine. DAMN northeast roads.

They are both on the back so its not too noticeable. I'm a perfectionist though so I notice every thing.

Im going to have mine fixed eventually.

Looks good....... There's something about your car that sets it apart from other SSM's I just don't see what...

Driving without my plate for 2+ years and no trouble...

Definately powdercoat the mesh (if possible), mine got painted the first time and it took about 2 weeks before it started chipping. One of the BEST SSM out there!
