Hey your car looks super duper clean. If you don't mind.. I just curious, I ordered 19x10 and 19x11 also, what tire sizes are you running so I can get an idea of what to do. I was thinking 235/35 and 255/35 or 235/35 and 265/30, but indecisive. I'll be pretty low also.

i ran 225/35 and 265/30. for as slammed as i am, 235/35 wouldve been rub city. 265/30 wasnt alot of stetch and not tall on my rear 11. i think 235/35 is alot of stretch on an 11, 245/35 wouldve been kind of tall too. so i chose 265/30 and its perfect

I'm surprised that front lip is still there, especially with it being fiberglass.. Only thing stopping me from getting vertex

yeah alot of people are scared of the fiberglass honestly. but thats the best part of authentic is it really is more durable than folks think. when i hit that piece in the road at 45mph, it cracked and that was it.

alot of folks thing fiberglass will get hit and shatter into dust, but they make this stuff pretty heavy duty

you know I did consider that at first, but then it became a combination of starting to like the L emblem, and being too lazy to take it off lol

more of the 2nd one than the first hahaha

I liked mine with it off also. Just a cleaner and smoother look.

I might try it off for awhile and see how I like it. might be a good change up, the front of yours was hella clean though. might have to make this happen

Yeah man, I think you'll enjoy the cleaner look. I'm going to be going with an emblem-less "F-sport" grille here soon. Maybe even work in a custom DIY lower grille insert into the upper grille, just so the mesh matches.
