I'll probably wait a little while before getting wheels. I'm gonna work on a few exterior mods such as, front lip, rear diffuser, vinyl wrap roof and window trim (gloss black), rear spoiler, and roof spoiler.

More pics of the trunk setup.
Drive height. Still need to make a few adjustments. Rear still slightly lower than front.

Front lip on the way. Decided to go with an ebay lip for now just for bumper protection. My front has seen some nicks and scrapes since bagging the car. I may paint it, not sure yet. Will order rear diffuser soon. Debating on Stillen, jcsportsline, lexon, or seibon. I like the look of the Stillen which is nice and clean. I also like cf and the ability to go with quad exhaust in the future. I've been also shopping for wheels on the used market, though I'm not rushing it unless I find a set I absolutely like with the right fitment. What i REALLY want however, is a brand new set of wheels with custom widths and offsets.

thanks for the compliments guys! Yes, go bags. You honestly won't regret it. Nothing better than to be as high or as low as you want and being able to adjust height on the fly when dealing with oncoming speed bumps or steep ramps.

thanks! Yes it's a very simple mod that adds to the overall contrast of the car. I don't think the heat affects the wrap too much. Just need to keep it clean and be careful around the edges, especially with a pressure washer.

Front lip painted and installed. Painted the lip myself to save some $. It came out okay, could be better. Ebay lip fitment was just horrible. I had to drill my own holes on the preexisting tabs to get it to fit right.

With the homie. Full lexon exclusive quad exhaust, carbon fiber lip, side skirts, (rear diffuser is not). Full airrex air suspension and 20" work gnosis wheels.

Looks like skipper replica.
Is that the poly urethane one from Ikon? Or is that a carbon fiber one that you painted over?

yes you're right it's the PU one from ikon. Didn't know it was skipper rep though I thought it looked similar.
