Default Any suggestions

http://

This is my Duckie I've only had her for about 7 months since joining the Airforce. When i bought her she was all Yellow but I ran into the back of my buddys pick up and busted the hood so I got the VIS carbon. Shes already lowered with drill slotted brakes for now the speed is good enough for me untill I make higher rank Im more conserned with the look (you know for driving down to the beach). I was thinking a dark tint and maybe painting the rims a gunmetal or black untill I can afford those black and chrome 20's i wanted. Let me know any suggestions or comments. thanks everyone

gunmetal rims would look absolutely sick with solar yellow... like the vis carbon hood oh and you could put a front lip on your bumper and it would look good..

I agree with twest. I also think you should get darker headlights and tail lights to really set off the yellow and black scheme.

Here are my suggestions: (keep in mind this is just my opinion)

1. If you plan on keeping the CF hood unpainted then I would go with a kit. I think an unpainted CF hood on stock body looks weird, especially since your car is yellow.
2. My recommendation on kits/lips: Wald front with L-tuned sides and rears, Greddy front with L-tuned sides and rears, or the C-west kit.
3. I think gunmetal/silver rims would look nicer than black chrome rims.
4. Don't go with 20's that is way to big for the IS. I think the IS looks the best with 18's.
5. Wheel recommendation: Volk TE37, Work VS-xx, Gram Light 57S Pro, and the SSR GT-1.

P.S. the car looks good, what suspension set up are you running now?
