Don't really like the rims but like what whitebeast said, if you like it, that's all that matters. You're the one driving the car and seeing it everyday.

What coil overs are you getting?

I'd consider getting intake, 2011-2012 headlights, lip kit, jdm visors, hid fogs, FSport (type) front grille, sway bars, tail lights upgrade, led interior, etc (not in that order)

Good luck

Thanks. At first I didn't like them (believe me it looks better in real life) but I started digging them like 1 week later. And how much would some 2011 headlights cost me?

Why do you regret having H&R springs?

Coils or bags first. It would make the biggest difference. Then I would get a front lip.
