Default first upgrade

Well recently I decide to fully bite the bullet and do what I said I always wanted to do. Was to take my car and do the mods I wanted to do, so I recently had bought a rear and front lip kit with a grill, got them painted now waiting on some side skirts to get painted. So I can put the whole kit on at once. While waiting for that I bought some vossens cv1 and thru those on, and hopefully by the end of next month everything will be on

Yea I know, would like to but am apprehensive about the dreaded vibration and wobble affect, and hopefully with the lip kit it wont look so bad

i love the wheels...like others have said you have to drop it once you put the lip kit on. always remember once you start there is no such thing as an end

I agree with what others have said, You gotta drop this thing. Once you see how good it looks you will forget all about dangerous road conditions.

Thanx guys, the lip kit is a carson rear with extreme dimension front and sides plus carson tuned grill, got the grill with the front and rears from craigslist, then ordered the sides. Came in today dropped them off at the shop to be painted, so hopefully by the begining of next week it will be all done, and yea technically the black roof was my first mod. I like to call it the euro look
