Some of you guys suggested a lip kit, I'm actually looking into an AE lip kit since I personally don't like any of the others not into them really. Also, a lot suggested the SE tails and I'm with you guys but it's not really a priority right now. Some also suggested to lower a bit more, right now since it's my DD and with the crap streets here in Chicago I don't think I'll be going lower anytime soon until the future when I switch to coilovers. Plus, I don't know if you guys can see in the pics but the tires are about a half-inch away from the fenders so that's low enough for me maybe it'll be lower to the ground with the lip kit. Thanks guys for all your comments and suggestions I appreciate it all, I've only had this car for 8 months and I'm really satisfied with the point its at now, I thank the org and it's members for all the help.

Anyone else want to add any other comments and suggestions other then whats already been mentioned, please feel free.

To be honest I never like the all red tails but they look good as is on your car. But SE tails can always help. Have you ever thought about a lip spoiler for your trunk?

No I don't like the lip spoiler, if i was to do that I would just find a trunk with the stock spoiler or just get a stock spoiler. But then again I like the spoiler less look it grew on me keeps me different

The wheel is bent because the tire is too narrow. On a 8.5 wide wheels I would have gone with 235 at very least. Optimal for me would be 245. I notice how close the wheels are to the fender in the rears but that's because of the 20mm spacers. 10mm spacers would have probably been fine, and you'd have a straight wheel. I know about the potholes, but stretching a tire exposes more of the lip and makes it easier to bend wheels.

There's only one thing I have to say I did the narrow tire and 20mm for that stretched at the fender look, I wanted to go 245 because that would be the best with an 8.5 but I don't like how it looks I wanted the stretched look even though these Chicago streets won't let me enjoy it
