Your car's stance looks good as is....just get some wheels to complete the look

car looks fine if you're not getting wheels. again tho, pictures typically dont do justice.

if you're getting wheels, lower it more. you might want to wait after winter to slap them on though. just my 2 cents.

I went with the CS's as well and my car looks identical to yours minus the lip and I have a roof spoiler. I wish I went with another coilover b/c I want to go lower. I kinda knew I was going to regret it b/c it wasn't going to go low enough, but I thought RCA's would take care of the weak drop. The RCA's didn't work to drop it further so now I'm stuck with the weak drop. My friend told to contact TEIN to see if they can make a shorter coil, but I highly doubt they would do so.

I might be getting the '06+ GS 18" wheels, but no aftermarket, im running whee spacers, so it looks pretty good.
