Nice wheels, I like. I thought you sold the front lip though? Or were trying to?

Personally, I think next I'd go with camber kit next.. Isn't the skunk2 drop pretty low?

Then after that, I donno. All you can really do is handling/aesthetic mods since it's an auto R18 and all those other mods will be pretty much null.

Yeah, it's shitty, but it's absolutely pointless to further mod that car performance-wise (in the aspect of power) unless she's willing to drop large amounts of money onto it.

Personally, I would just go all looks from here on out. A HID retro would be nice, I also thiink tint would be beneficial on a black car..

Ok, then darker tint

Definitely get HIDs, that would set your car off nicely. Other than that.. I would probably enhance the interior a bit. Get a navi, maybe some upgraded audio since the LX has absolute **** for music. If you aren't an audiophile, then it won't really matter.

Just please get a retrofit, and not some kit?

Customlightz has a sticky at the top of the forum.

haha the tints the second to last darkest it can go, any darker and cops will be all over me, nj cops ftl. the tint really is pretty dark in the picture it doesnt look it bc we enhanced it. as for HIDs, i just ordered them a Navi's pointless to me i dont drive anywhere far haha and the audios no big deal, it'd be nice if i had good use for it, good opinion though.

Im telling you sedans do not look right with a front lip and no sideskirts. You need something to continue the shape of the car all the way around

Word, it looks wierd that your front bumper is lower than the rest of the car.

On a side note, how much did it cost to paint that front lip? Not that I'd ever get that one since I'm not a fan of the way it looks.. but a shop quoted me at $280 (in general) to paint a front lip. Sounded kinda high.. but maybe not.

Oh god, you got a kit. Did you check out the customlightz thing?

It's expensive but you have to pay to play to have a reliable part that doesn't glare the hell out of other drivers.

Do yourself a favor and return them

No offense, but if you can't afford a true retro, don't waste your money on junk (a kit). They look like trash, and more importantly, they **** off other drivers. I HATE it when some moron is running a HID kit and it's blinding the **** outta me. Kits FTL
