new G owner! looking for advice

so I just recently purchases an 06 ivory pearl sedan and am looking to do some modding right away. I am first painting the roof black and tinting the windows. I really like the karuma z bumper but having a hard time finding where to buy one. can anyone help me out? I also am looking to buy rims too by august but if this is my daily driver what are some of your opinions on 20's vs 19's? also maybe some good suggestions on specific rims. I'm currently eyeballing a set of staggered vossen CV3 rims but am still looking around. thanks alot guys looking forward to joining the forum!

Welcome to the IP club, I prefer the look of 19's especially the OEM Rays.

IP nice choice, I agree with re-crue on the 19" Rays they look amazing and they would be on my car if I could find some that weren't to pricy

Welcome to a fellow IP sedan


I'd recommend a drop of some kind (even a mild drop) before wheels.
And I lean more toward 19s.

^That's true, but IMO, 20's just don't look right unless the car is slammed.

^Yes... at stock ride height

Granted any wheel looks better on a lowered car, but at least 19" Rays or M45 sport wheels aren't horrible at stock height.

What you are looking for is the KuRookie front. PM martyg35. He'll take care of you.

For a mild drop you can't really beat the price of a full oem revised z suspension.
