Looks good. A few suggestion I would make is lower the front more, I have an AWD and your's is about as high as mine is on the front, I can see your upper suspension control arm lol.

Also, the back can use a spacer, the offset is a bit weak and kind of kills the stance.

Very nice, tho not feeling the roof too much.

And are those 19"?

Car looks great. StopTechs are really nice. I think the OP left the roof white and not matted black on purpose. Why is it headed to the shop for another 2 months? Future mods?

Matte black is coming off soon for another mod plus different rim setup. The matte black vinyl was done for a specific event and it served it's purpose. Hence there was no incentive for me to finish them up as I need to prep for something else. The stoptechs are something else. The current wheel setup are 18s and plans for 19s are already inthe works.

if you don't have stoptech brakes, what stoptech product do you have?

(reminder: it's in your thread title.)

Need to modify your mufflers. They stick out quite a lot, surprised you don't get singed by them when you're loading/unloading stuff from the trunk. You need to drop the front a bit more too, I can see the upper control arm through the wheel gap, not cool. If leaving the front end at that height is because you're afraid of scraping the front lip, don't be a BPB. (big ***** boy.)

Other than that, car looks GREAT.
