As soon as I get 215/45's for the back, im going to lower the front .75" and the rear .50". The rears rub when I have a fatty in the back =/ . The BFGoodrich logo is almost rubbed out X)

Thanks.

The rims are in good condition but I plan on getting them refinished in the same color but a bit lighter, or just polishing them for the bling.
As for the lip, I compared the OEM Si and the fake one, I like how the fake one flares out more. And the fitment is perfect.





Thanks for all the positive comments peoples Any more negatives?

Looks pretty good. A wee bit more of a drop, maybe a CTR wing too.

Is it just the pictures or does your mirrors look a bit darker, paintwise, than the rest of your car?

ps. Put the bumper grille inserts back, it'll look better since you're not flossin an inter cooler or anything.

Its just the lighting. They were painted at the same time the car was painted.

As for the grille inserts, the previous owner cut them out for some reason.

I get a lot of people who dislike the rims. I never understood that lol. I like em. Do they look too simple or what?

not feelin the front bumper area...the grills and behind the fogs should be black, needs to go a little lower and the wheels arent doing anything for the clean paint. its pretty nice overall
