Default What to do next? Help!

Hey guys, i want to start modding my car again but i don't know what to do. I am going to get coilovers in the coming weeks, but i want to change some things on my car to be different. I am thinking about changing the front lip and i would like some advice. Please help and give me some opinions. Just tell me what u guys would think would look good. Thanks,

Well since your going with coil overs your going to need a more aggressive fitment on the wheels or you will have the sunken in look. Also what always works for me is a really good detail job, it gives the paint more depth everytime I do it. Also get your headlights buffed out to get them looking like new again, extend your exaust tips so they are slightly poking out, and like the others said maybe IS-F tailights. Good Luck

BTW I wouldn't suggest putting spacers, there are other options when you have wheels like HRE that you can easily sell for a decent value.

Not that spacers are bad but it's a little oxymoronic when you have $6,000 wheels before tires and then you have to use spacers. In terms of suggestions I am just giving what tends to be a good recipe for a well balance modded car. Just so you know you have 3piece wheels so there are ways to fix the fitment issue without breaking the bank, shoot me a PM and I'll cover some options with you.
