^If you didn't see anything in the marketplace then I would say no, but I never looked for those before.

Talk to Dustin about getting either a front bumper, or a lip and some side skirts.. You could prolly do that for 500..

I personally would drop it first because I think cars look silly with rims and no drop but thats me. Body kit last, just my opinion.

^agreed.. you want to get coils for sure then too, because depending on what you get bodykit and wheels wise, you might want to raise, or lower your car more to get your stance correct..

For example, you might get 19s, and then be rubbing on bumps, or get a kit, and start scraping, so you might want to raise it a bit.

Go ahead and get coils.. Don't waste your time w/ springs. You'll save money and time trying to offload them later.

Back again, need some more advice. I was gonna get 25 mm spacers all the way around. Question is I wanna drop it, nothing crazy but have things look flush and still have a good ride. I have a front camber kit obviously I would need the rear. Could I do this stuff myself?? I dont have much experience with this stuff, is it really that hard?? thanks

edit: also I was thinking of exhaust. HKS mostly but I love the stock sound. Any way to keep this sound but louder??
