Looks great!!!! What size are your wheels?

Painted all the chrome trim up front gloss black and the intricate grill semi-gloss black. Lowered on adjustable Ohlins coilovers w/ FIGS Essential Lowering Kit and poly bushings. 20" fully 6061-T6 forged three-piece wheels that accept factory lug nuts plus center caps, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires - I love looking at my car as much as I enjoy driving it now.

  • Changed wheels to 20 inch, Rears are 10.5inch, 30 offset with 285 tyre, Fronts are 9 inch, 25 offset with 255 tyre no rubbing at all for about 6 weeks now since install, (after removing one nasty fender lining bolt).
  • Lowered with Swift springs.
  • Painted brake calipers and added decals.
  • Tinted windows to 18%.
  • Black gloss vinyl to roof, rear spoiler, window trim, hood vent and front grille surround.
  • Sprayed exhaust tips black with Rust-Oleum peelcoat, no issues so far, might redo it with hi temp black with satin clear coat later.
  • Did same with rear badges.
  • New number plates and covers.
  • Deleted resonators.
Never done mods before, but after reading this forum, I saw all these good ideas and organised them pretty quick after getting the car.
Just got the Apexi throttle controller which I'll put in soon.
Thinking of exhaust but not sure about it, maybe Borla but could be too loud for me and expensive here in Australia.

Amazing build man. That semi-gloss grill with matching wheels look stunning.
