need cosmetic advice ASAP! HALP!

Alright guys. I KNOW MY INTERCOOLER IS CROOKED!!! DONT SAY ANYTHING! Stephen is on top of it!I need 3 things recommended ASAP:

1. sideskirts- this bumper is about stock height, but the lines of the stock sideskirts feel strange. i need something is that very subtle, and not low, basically just one that goes straight back rather than curve up and all that.

2. mesh- need a thick black mesh for the front bumper... something high quality and very durable. i want it to look bad azz.,.. willing to pay $$ if i have to.

3. splitter..... anyway to accent the bottom of the bumper... maybe the garage door liner?

I'm already working on wheels, so dont worry about that.

try out the Home Depot Lip.. its cheap and if u dont like it jus take it off.. ive heard that the best mesh can also be found at Home Depot in the door section.. its the screen door mesh. it comes anodized black so it wont chip.. ill prolly be gettin that soon since my mesh is chippin away

i could make you a splitter, but you would have to ask twalls for permission lol the sides i would say impul poly.. since your front will not look good with any other sides due to how high it is compared to all the other sides on the market..

No problem as long as I get back the extra I paid for it being an exclusive and your word that you wouldn't make another no matter how much someone asked..

OR.. I could get 30% off each one..

A lot can be attributed to a rough ride.. alignment, tire tread, and yes suspension.. I can't speak for your personal experience in Jack's ride, but I can vouch for the coils being very nice.. they were actually TOO "cushy" for me when I was in the default setting.. That's why I went to the true coil setup.. Eventhough I'm in that configuration, it's not overly stiff, but it's DEFINITELY not as bouncy as it was in the rear..

With comparison to the Tenabe NF210 springs I'd say they're just as lavish, you're not giving up any luxury, there's 24 levels of damping, so you can adjust them, to your liking.. If you can't find a level to your liking w/ exponential combinations available, I don't think you're going to find any coils you're happy with..

When I throw my 20s back on my car, I'll give you a ride in mysti..

If you want a good set of coilovers for a decent ride then just go with Tein Basic Coilovers....rides good and lowering is good. for your grille bud go to home depot on the gutter area I believe.....
