I need some input people, I'm thinking about getting a set of Vossen CV2 wheels that are all 10.5 and a +27 offset. It's aggressive but it'll fit. Need some opinions on the look though as I'm on the fence. I would likely have the inner portion of the CV2's painted the grigio color. I did a photochop so let me know your thoughts.

What it looks like now

I honestly think your current wheels look better, and if you have any other brake mods planned (BBK or drilled/slotted rotors) they would show them off better.

I say keep the CV3s. IMO they blend a bit better with the 4Gs

I think the Cv2's. I think it looks great and it's not so played out like the CV3's are on the 4g.

Nice grille. How hard is removing the grille to paint? Do it yourself?

Removing the grill isn't too hard. I painted my first one myself. It wasn't that great, its a lot harder than I thought. I had one painted by Nexson (he's an azine member) and it came out fantastic. The best way to remove your grill is to just remove the front bumper. You can remove it without but I think its a lot harder. I can have my grill off in about 10 minutes removing the front bumper.

I'd suggest hitting Nexson up and see if he would paint a grill for you. He has or had an exchange program.

Well I have a few updates finally. I picked up some depo headlights with the clear corners. I was gonna get the 2012 ones but I decided to go with the clear reflectors and clear lenses since it would match up with my color scheme better than the amber lenses.

I also got a set of tein ss coil overs and User_Error just put them on for me yesterday. I went with the lowest setting first since I wanted to see what it felt like with it as low as it could go. It rides way better then the tein springs.

How do you like the Depos compared to oems in terms of quality and cut offs? The Teins put your height perfect.

I'm lovin the Depo's cut off is way more crisp than the OEM's and that's about the only difference... Only issue is adjust the levels with a 10mm wrench not a screwdriver or drill... the mechanism to adjust is delicate but they all are even the oem's

They are pretty good. I got the ones with the clear projector lenses and the cut off is better than my OEM's with the TSX-r lenses. I'm not sure what projector lens they use but it doesn't look like the FX-r or the TSX-r. It has a really nice ultra violet, deep indigo bluish cut off. Very happy with them.

I'd down if the friggin pollen will stop... you wash the car and 10 minutes later it's yellowey green again... but it's time I've gotta shoot Erin's too for a ton of updates to my build thread... Her's got new rubber yesterday... so the wheel well gap is half of what it was... but man it raised the car up a ton... I see why you could haul ass into my driveway now...
