OK, guys just got the Vossen wheels on and they look really good. I am going for the tanabe lowering coilover springs next as it needs just a little drop to make it right.
Any advice on getting the tanabe springs installed correctly? I am probably going to find a shop here in Austin to get them installed. I just need to know what needs to be done if anything other than putting the springs on so I can make sure they are doing everything correctly . I have no idea what questions to ask them to know if they are capable of not screwing it up.
Will post a pic of the new wheels on the car when I get home. They black vvs-cv1 wheels really make the car looks sporty!

Here is the car with the Vossen wheels on it. Definitely needs to the Tanabe lowering springs in my opinion.
I personally think the wheels would be much hotter with a concave front wheel also.

Guys I realized I never added my pics once I had the front apron and trunk spoiler on. The car came out just like I wanted. Sporty and aggressive but conservatively so. I get so many compliments on the car it is vying for the most popular cars I have owned.
Took the pics with my droid x so not the best.
Thanks again to everyone for helping me find all of the options and picking the right ones.

Thanks guys, I think it looks great too. It came out just as I had hoped.
I wanted the car to look like my idea of how it SHOULD look as a sport edition coming from the factory.
The front apron and trunk spoiler are from WALD. Ordered them painted.
The wheels are 20's and the ride level is stock. The tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/40/20 fronts and 275/35/20 rears.
I know a lot of guys like lowered (I think they lok good too but not for me to drive) and I think if it was lowered an inch it would be fine but I wanted to stay with an aggressive stock look.
I also considered totally blacking it out, but with wheels it would be questionable because of the chrome on the wheels. I think they match up nice now with the chrome accents on the car.
