Looks good with the body kit, normally not a fan of those but goes well with the rest of the car.

Defenitly the next thing I would do is lower it. The car will look SO much more aggresive.

They are 17x9.5 54mm offset and 18x10.5 56mm offset no fitment issues...

Could not decide on black or silver for the grill but when all said and done im happy with it!

Agreed on it needs to be lowered, thinking the 1" BMR springs cause i dont want it real low with the ground effects. Thanks for the input, keep it coming!

Looks good. I would lose the RS package (kit) and drop it. Awesome hood and grill.

FWIW, I do not like my BMR springs. The rates are too high for daily driving styles, IMO.

Well that grill piece is just an insert isn't it? You could pull it out and paint it yourself for $10-15 bucks. It'd be like doing a CETA mod, real easy.
