i agree... and yeah that lip isnt working..

 

I do like the gold wheels as well, I agree with that, although these wheels are lights and perform alot better!

And about the lip comment, What if I painted it white? Or what lip would look tight? I figured I was "DE-Ricing it"

Stock ex lip, mugen, hell even the home depot lip would look better than the type-r you have on now

 

I liked the other set off wheels myself, plus I think you should go LOWER!!! Just my $0.02

 

elaborate on the " home depo lip"

 

ex sides a good choice I made ?

Looks real good with the ek sides

 

The Gold wheels were 17" tenzo R's with ultra HPR's 205/4017
The new whees are Rota grids 16" w/ 205-45-Zr16

 

A new lip will make a big difference.

 

wowo, I never notice the lip being that bad, is it really that bad? What if I paint it white to match the car?

 

the home depot lip is even worse.

get a different type of lip, that type r one looks goofy, it doesn't flow with the bumper...

i recommend the oem lip

 

Painted the side moldings to match the car was a good choice

 

im thinking carbon fiber lip mugen to match the hood?

just get an OEM lip

 

very nice

 

i like the old wheels better too..and get an oem lip.. other then that..clean coupe

 

nice job. work in progress

 

Heres a question, Tint or no tint ? ?

I may get the mugen lip, and the gold wheels "may" go back on......

 

no tint. i like the wheels. maybe needs to be a bit lower. stock front lip.

good work though. dont let people here make decisions for you though, if you like it keep it how it is. this is just our two cents, take it or leave it.

 

that is the reason why I posted the pics, I wanted you 2 cents, and I agree with the lip, I however like the 16"s Im about performance over looks, and these rota grids and tires out perform the big *** 17's and weight a hell of a lot less.

no tint ok

And lower, Yea id like it lower, but she rubs how she is now..... I have a camber it and aligment, Itll rub if I turn the car too hard like a U turn.......

I have nuespeed springs coming,on my kyb agx's, so the car wont be as low anymore, but performance is what matters
