Thanks to you and YogiFTLC for answering all my fitment questions, I owe and give credit to you guys... Least I can do is buy you guys coffee/boba. Lol

Yes sir... Wanted that forged one-piece wheel to thrash around the track, thinking of ditching these DFs and go BC coils or bags. Thank you and keep leading the way.

I was aiming for that sharp look of a Audi/BMW on black wheels. Thanks man!

Thanks Thomas! After filing for tax refund, probably gonna focus on getting INGS lip/skirt or HKS hi-power exhaust.

Keep looking, you can but you'd have to deal with drivetrain vibrations later down the line

UPDATE: 4/8/2015

So I followed up on pursuing my HKS exhaust and threw on the INGS lip myself. On the lip, it came bare and warped so I heat treated it multiple times and test-fitted until it came right. Then I used scotch-brite pads to sand it down before primer. Then primered it before throwing on 2 coats of base and 3 coats of clear. Turned out great for DIY project, but I now know why body shops charge up the aas! It's time consuming and hard labor but was a great experience in doing so.







Next up and coming soon will be INGS side and invidia mid-pipe. Then later towards the end will be a Job-design rear with custom diffuser to be put on it. Till now...the modding continues.
