Default Jkhang714's 2014 is350 F-Sport

When I first got the car.



Front grille chrome delete and tinted windows 35% fronts, 20% rears (no pix getting tinted)





Bought wheels, they arrived and test fitted







Bought a full lip kit, installed the fronts, didnt like how the sides looked so trimmed off parts of it and customed a spliiter lip. Not going to run the diffuser







Joe Z axleback exhaust came in. Installed.





After few months, decided to get tires and run wheels I purchased a few months back. Ordered air system, but wrong struts came in, returned for correct struts. As it sits currently.



Not sure if its just me or others as well, but my Joe Z exhaust doesnt line up perfectly with one other. The left hangs nicely, however, the right hangs a little higher than the left. I unbolted and rebolted and still the same. It must be the way the welding was done. It sits uneven. Played with the rubber that the exhuast hangs out. Made the right tip match the left tip, they were off by a few millimeter the way they were hanging, they now match perfectly. =)



Air suspension is on its way. =)

Ebay lip kit. Got it from a local retailer who sells it. Price was too good to pass up on it. Was about to pay $400+ for a real skipper front lip so settled for a replica. I love it and it fits perfect, easy install. =)

Thanks. Wider tires are going to rub when on air, I purposely got stretched tires becuz I'll be on air soon.

maybe should've got more narrow wheels then? i understand your reasoning. it's just me man...I can't stand the look of wheel lips protruding past the rubber of the tire that far! it is what it is.

Thank you, the SP4's are 19x9.5 +25 fronts, 19x11 +37 rears. I'm running achilles tires 225/35/19 fronts, 245/35/19 rears. Nice stretch all around. Was going to go with 265/30/19 for rears, but becuz i'll be on bags better to be on slim tires rather than wider. I dont want to rub.
