Red Outs
Yellow Fog Light Overlays
LED Interior
Footwell LED Strips
Blacked Out Grille Surround
Blacked Out Emblems In The Rear

Mine is not but I just got it and trying to get educated which route to go and if it's worth it. I really don;t want to compromise the ride quality and don't want the wheel to touch something funky in there when I go over bumps.. Still reading and reading I hate the gap that's for sure.

I'm proud to admit that mine is bone stock. While I'd like to do some things now, I'm waiting until something actually goes bad. But it still runs great.

Because of the vibrations you get after dropping it. I like it slammed. I thought i did all my homework but i guess i didnt..

The only thing i like to do is drop a vehicle. MAYBE get rims. But i dont want to drop it if i get vibrations and i have also read that the CV Boots rip if you go a bit too low.

This was me at stock height... back in the day :



If you are gonna do rims, especially ones that are flush, etc, .. it'll look much better lowered. OEM rims look fine at stock height IMO.
