Love wheels like that. Roof is a really nice touch as well!

Also I was always curious about the whole roof black idea on a white car... so when or if you ever decide to get a roof spoiler, would that be painted white or black?
Not a 100% sure on wheels yet as we need to get the lowering module installed with some tires. So TBD on that.

Roof Spoiler will be black. Should be here soon.

Just a minor update today. After getting the stock brakes fixed under warranty we were finally able to test fit the brakes with the wheels. Everything cleared so at this point just waiting for the body kit to get in from Japan. Its somewhere in the ocean...hopefully soon. The waiting is killing me.

Well the body kit has finally arrived. Cant say how excited I am. I was only able to snap some quick pictures as I head to get back on the road before traffic got too crazy on a Friday afternoon. Going back tomorrow to drop the car off for dry fit while I'm out of town next week for work. Ill try to take some better pictures tomorrow.

Wasn't going to post these but might as well. Here are a couple pictures for test fitment for the front and rear. Car is in the shop as we speak. Hopefully another 3 weeks and she should be ready to go.

Going to add an HID kit to the fogs as well.




Rear fitment is pretty good. Needs some adjusting but not too bad.




Figured with the front being a half bumper there would be some fitment issues and that is definitely the case. Thanks Nat for giving me the heads up.

Damn I was hoping those purple lights were a separate piece but it looks like it's part of the front bumper. Would've loved to add those. Why are you converting the fogs to HID? Are you not happy with the LED output?
