the new wheels look great.

i dont like the unpainted cf front lip though. it makes the front bumper look higher than the rest of the car (namely the sideskirts). it looks like the car has buck teeth.

i know first hand i used to have a silver car with a black front lip, and didnt realize how much better it looked until after i got it painted.

maybe a 2 tone color job or something for the lip..

and have you gotten an alignment? it looks like your fronts have positive camber.

or maybe you like it and i'll just be quiet

I'm wondering how anxious for Winter you are?

I've got a "busy" Winter ahead of me as well, so I'm sure we're in similar boats.

every night i sit there looking at my bank account thinking if its just not worth it to do now. hahaha almost cant wait. but i am going to start the project in January, ready at the end of march. Over the winter the car will also be getting a break upgrade, and some other goodies if my bank says ok. lol
