Default Identify my new mod!

I want to do this mod for a long time now, it is very subtle, it might be lame to some people, but it is very cool to me, I am going for the OEM sport package look

So name my mod!

The fog lights look shiner or something. Or, you're going for the real subtle look and removing the roof antenna.

That was an old mod I did long time ago, so keep looking for my new mod!

I'll wait for a few more guess before I give hint

I guess it is too subtle, here is a hint, look at the tire size, they are staggered

Good guess! But no, I didn't do anything more to the suspension, the springs settled and lowered itself quite a bit.

Front is stock size: 245/45/18

Rear is now: 275/40/18
