Car looks fresh man. Im liking those MRR's. One bit of advice tho.. Paint your hubs black!!! Especially wit the bigger wheels it makes them stand out more.

They look real good on your car. I wish I had roads that looked half as good as those.
I bent my rims REAL quick.

Any rubbing issues? Look pretty good man... Just upgrade the grille and get some Rain visors, and you will be pretty much set IMO
i bent my mrr rims aswell... maybe its an mrr thing...... but as far tie rod ends go, i would recommend people to buy the rca's to make the upgrade cause i had to shave alot more then i felt comfortable doing the brake upgrade... right now im not using any rca's but if i knew how much i would have to have to make it work i would have bought rca's...... to make it work i had to shave more then just the unused threads.... i had to shave down bolts

I know the front roof rack makes so much wind noise its sometimes annoying...... and it affects my gas mileage ...... so every now and then ill take the front off

You should get brake lines. The price seems high but the difference they make is just like the calipers themselves.

You should also enable PM.

the only thing that i see as wrong, is that painted black they just disappear a bit
mind you to each there own, and you may not want them to stand out
