SLP grill looks good with anything... Why would a berger panel make any difference on how the front of your car looks? Also what springs are you running

How does the ride on the car feel with the prokit installed? I want to lower my car, but I dont think i want to without shocks to go with the springs. and on the slp grille thing, it really does look good, even if you have a berger panel, you could always paint it red to match the car.....or paint ur stocker like I did

the ride is good . . . except really having to go at angles in driveways hahaha but if you do you'll need shocks, no gettin around that and you'll need an adjustable panhard bar too. now i need new tires, the 46,000 miles on these is startin to show
