So almacruel, I notice in your sig. your running wider rims/tires on your awd. Have you experinced anything out of the ordinary after running the staggered setup? Was thinking of doing that setup on my awd also.

Images are from the week before I took my car to the body shop to have bumper fix so please don't mind the holes 
And also while the car was getting painted I also had the bottom mesh painted gloss black and the plastic next to the fogs... Well have those pictures soon....

Hot lookin' car! 
Your painted grill looks good too. I see that you have the same bumper holes as mine. I got bumper plugs to plug up the main holes and touch up paint to paint over the other 2. Makes a huge difference. Something you should think about.

That looks great! You have one nice ride as I have probably said a few times in this thread! lol...
I like the BLK painted honeycomb and the gril. That looks so much better. Considering having mine done also. Can I remove the honeycomb and drop it off at the bodyshop? or do they need the whole front bumper to paint it?
Thanks

They don't need the whole bumper to paint the grill... But I'm pretty sure you have to take off the bumper in order to take off the grills... At least that's the way I took it off...
Yea it's worth it... The car looks so much better with the lip kit... Only thing left to do is to figure out what side skirts I want but I'm think the GFX side skirts will be the best...
