I believe it's 2K on L-tuned, then there's shipping plus paint and install and we're talking 3K.

EK9,
I am feeling it over and over, I love every aspect of your car, from the wheels, to car color (not that I favor silver over other colors for some reason ), the stance is sick (you seem to be lower than before, are u on coilovers?) and that lip kit is nice.
Great Job, thanks for inspiring me again

Yeah, I ended up with K-Sport coilovers from the forum sponsor "Rides Low"

awesome
From what I remember, the tires were Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. 245/30 & 285/25. I believe the rears were 20x10.5, but the fronts I don't remember. More then likely 20x9.

Sorry Henry, I didn't take any pics of the wheels to show fitment. Totally slipped my mind, but when we lowered the jack and the tire tucked nicely against the rear quarters I feel in love. It could have gone more aggressive, like flush with the fender if the tire was more stretched but the sidewalls on the tires are beefy. Too beefy for me, I like a nice stretch! The front wasn't bad, no fender mods yet so it was almost perfect. I had minor rubbing when hitting hard dips and so on. Nothing that made me worry.

still, my favorite part about the car is the Prussian lip kit. Perfect for light color cars. i would buy that kit if i wasnt worried about matching my GFM color paint.

the wheels are clean and those moving pics are sa-weeeeeet!!!

(obviously a lot of PS work was done to those pics. you look like your gonna run into that wall!! )

Actually there was little to no photoshop work besides removing the rig I use to get the shot. The car is actually rolling.

Yup, went down another 1.25" and boy what a difference it made.

yeah i am surprised you went with 285 in the back on 10.5, if you want a bit stretching i would have gone with 275

but still, great job man!
