Side profile to show how the coils did its job.


I like big butts and I cannot lie....

Looks great. And your off to a great start. I would go with the gfx front lip just to keep it clean. As for rims. You have plenty of choices depending on your style and budget. Are you planning to go 19's or 20's ?

My first choice is 19" second choice is 18"
I think 20" is pushing it and IMO looks a bit ghetto if not done right (no offense to those who are rolling 20"s)
Thanks!

It is very clean for the most part, the bumper can you use a new paint due to rock chips but other than that I got a great deal and I am very happy. Thanks!
