Wow, that kit looks very good! Nice job! You know what.....the stock rims don't look bad at all with that kit for some reason. I think it looks good, but upgraded rims are always nice too! =)

Looking GOOD O.L.T.

IMO, you do need fogs of some kind, not sure which but something.

Wheels: not so bad, maybe a smidge bigger (like 18s, nothing crazy though) ... maybe some rims off a 2IS would fit the bill.

Nice looking shots. Now throw some fogs in. It looks to much like a Cwest front without fogs

What color do you plan on painting the kit/car?
