took advantage of the 4-day weekend and installed a set of SAGE RCA and LED side mirrors to the ride. Hope you guys like it....

Wow, that's nice. I'd take off the wing, add an exhaust, and call it a day.

Just out of curiosity: What is that thing in the center, below your rear bumper?

Looks good bro, how do you like it? I know on your other thread you were concerned if the height was going to be ok. It looks sweet to me though. Not to mention it didn't change/affect your ride quality either right?

Thanks! I like the look and the height is perfect for what i was aiming for. the only minor thing is that when i hit bumps at normal driving speed, theres a thumping sound coming from the front. im on stock shocks, so Pete advised that i could be bottoming out. i also need to check if the upper arm is hitting the tower, although im not slammed at all. other than that, ride is as smooth as it was previously.

Hmm, that's kind of strange. I would think you should still have the same amount of travel as before, the RCA's went in. Unless of course I'm picturing this in my head wrong?! Hahaha. In any case glad it worked out well for you. I think sometimes it's easy to recommend getting coilovers since it will get the job done, but it's not for everybody.
