that is the EZ Lip from eBay. its good but the tape gives way after a while. If you're going with that type of lip i highly recommend the AllFit lip! that is what i will be ordering soon, its very durable and strong. A lot of members here have it, and its looks good too. Its the same as the EZ Lip but stronger and better.

Wil post better pics, the build is really starting to come together now so ill definitely try to update it more, thanks for reading!
Very nice! My vote for the wheels are the CV5's. I love the look of them on my ride.

Regarding the wheels on stock suspension, MR_CV5 has a build thread. He was on stock suspension and CV5's for awhile while waiting on his springs. Here's the link to his thread:

Thanks Mark! still debating whether i should go with springs or coilovers. the NY winters here won't allow me to be low all year round so ill probably have to save up for some coils. either RSR or the j5 coils which will allow me to keep the AVS feature on my 350

That's a tough one. I have RSR's on my car and love them. Being able to keep the AVS feature is definitely a plus and people seem to like the J5, but I haven't seen them on cars long term personally. You can't go wrong with RSR, but i'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you decide to go with

Default RR Racing BBK IS HERE!!!

RR Racing Big Break Kit is here!!!
-thank you Simon for taking such good care of me!! they came on christmas eve too and i opened them up christmas morning can't wait to get them on, but i might wait until the spring after the winter passes here in NY so i can enjoy them without salt messing it up etc.

-as far as mods go I'm almost done... last things on my list is
-Seibon Carbon Fiber Side Skirt/wrap in Paint protection Film
-Wrap stillen lip and diffuser in carbon fiber.. has anyone done this?
-Wrap interior pieces on carbon fiber

and i don't think theres really much else i can do here other than rims and a drop which I'm still debating on.
