They're made by a few places. The sides look to be either bottom line or sit racing make one like that for sides and rear as well looks great dude! I just installed the bottom line sides very happy with the look what's nice is not many do the simple step lips so u see a lot of the same sides overall really nice.

Nice color choice with the rims. Really digging the nutmeg color.

Any more pics of the sides and rear?

Car looks classy without being overdone... great looking rims! I'm sure there is a big improvement in handling. What's the torque feeling like now that it's breathing better? I always felt the torque kind of weak and a with small range.
