The only thing that sucks is that you have to purchase the whole kit from Wald...if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for all the compliments. I really wasn't happy with the pics., if you could see the car in person, it's 10 times hotter IMHO.

Tint is definetly the next mod. Waiting to see what the new HRE's look like as well. Contemplating new wheels.

The price DGOT20s is not even close to what Steve got it for me. You can say that price includes new front and rear bumpers as well, plus you'll get change. I'm not sure if Steve wants me to post prices, but this kit is very affordable.

Only thing bad about the kit, the front is very low. I've already hit one of those cement blocks, no damage done to the kit though. Strong JDM fiberglass i suppose.

Also, i'm too lazy to go adjust my coilovers, lol. But one day i went on a beer run that made the rear tuck in the fenders. I should have taken a pic. , it looked pretty hot, but is not practical. I hit a bump and you could hear the tires rubbing in the rear.

Thumbs up Yup...

One word: TINT!
That will make a huge difference IMO. A good tint is one of the best "bang for the buck" mods.
Love the wheels-Volks are awesome!
I also agree that a lip spoiler of some type Veilside, RMM maybe? would look good too.

If you are talking about those parking blocks, I don't think any aftermarket bumper/lip win combination with lowering is safe against those. That's the price we pay though.

1niceride,

Actually, I really like the way your car looks with those wheels - purpose built and meant to be driven. Guess these days my tastes lean toward a clean, understated car. Yours is just that.

I'll bet the brakes you ordered will look awesome on your car. I also agree with you and others that tint will just improve on the overall look.

All in all, I give it a big

Mike

for god's sake guys, back the car up! i always always back up my car regardless of any reason now, it's just not worth it heading in and you hit something. and if i am at those angled parking (one way), i just make sure i give enough room or ask my wife to get out of the car and see.
