i like it, you definitely need some tint though it'll make the car look cleaner in my opinion, can't believe u put 10 racks in it, you coulda just got accuser and it would look cleaner without those issues

the $10k price tag also included fixing my quarter panel which someone hit and made a HUGE dent in, converting half my interior to black, and some other small tiny things as well i didnt mention

thanks STEW for the info, for now i raisded the car a quarter inch im not rubbing anymore, your advice will def help out when i decide to lower it again and tackle these issues

and for those who asked for closer shots of the fenders., here it is...

Very nice set up but that front grill on the stock lights have to go.. That front grill reminds me of a 98 Honda Accord. I would just change those 2 to make the aggresive overall look of the car to go well together.

Other than those 2 great job, love those fenders very hawt!

i actually love the look of the oem grille i had that was also blacked out, i just wanted a change, ill prob swap grills every season just to change the look
i need to find the rare emblem that attaches to this grille, maybe that will give it some class
and about the headlights, i just didnt want to go ALL BLACK but i think i need to black em out or go with the 2012 headlights if swell ever puts them on sale again which i doubt.

Hey Peyman,

Ya maybe the emblem would set it up a bit more prestige to the look. I doubt Sewell will have another headlight sale, but have you seen the ebay replica LED headlamps for the ISx50? or just paint the inside black to go with the all black theme.

If you are simply using OEM shocks with aftermarket springs then your shocks could be wore out.
