Man, that is just gorgeous. I wish mine looked like that, but that kind of drop just wouldn't work with the OEM 18's, and I'm not willing to go up to 19's, even if I could afford it.

Still, gorgeous.

if i may ask, what is it lowered?
i have never cared for multi spoke wheels....5 maybe 6 spokes, but the heavily spoked i have never cared too much for. i love yours....maybe its the drop or whatever, but can you share any details, besides whats in your sig.?

i am in Nashville so need to worry about giving away any secrets...you wont be rolling by me!

edit: also, those wheels just polished? or what? they dont look chromed...they look perfect

Sweet car and sweet wheels. You can never go wrong with subtle and clean.

One concern, you're camber looks wildly off. You might want to get that addressed ASAP becuase you'll quickly eat through those nice and expensive tires. The wider tire will only compound the wear issue.

Awesome looking car. But I have the same question, how much did you lower it, front and back? Thx.

The splash guards look great, but I don't think they will flow very well with my setup.

What's the front offset? (Rears are 38?)
A change in plans should certainly be in order.

Both the fronts and rears are a 38mm offset. The fronts fit perfect, but the rears definitely require a lot of fender and camber work to fit properly.

Thanks!
EDIT: IP is a metallic color.

FWIW..
If you can't find caps you like,
you could use the ones that came with...
Just fill the letters & paint the caps black
Thanks for the suggestion, but the look of no centercaps is really growing on me- debadged, just like my car!

Hahaha! I am a newbie to photography, and wanted to experiment with different angles- the straight-on shots really don't do anything for me.

My thoughts exactly. I don't mind my stone interior because it is partially two-tone with stone/black.

What do you mean? The drop looks killer with the OEM 18's. Here is how my car looked before:

It is lowered, with exactly what is found in my sig. The only thing that may make my cars stance look different is the huge 275 rear tires with a lot of negative camber.

The Tein S.Tech's are a great spring if you are looking for a dressup mod, but are not very performance oriented. I am planning on ditching the springs for a full coilover setup.

Thanks for the compliments! My camber is certainly not in spec at this point- I am waiting for my coilovers/camber arms to come in before making more adjustments.

The front drop was effectively 1.9" and the rear about 1.5" - once I stepped up to 19's, it seems that my the wheel gap slightly increased.

Actually, I think those are BFGoodrich KDW 2's. Those are actually fairly cheap, at least in comparison to Pilots or Eagles. The 245/35 19's are $223 at Tirerack, which is certainly cheaper than many tires in that category for 19's. For what would fit my OEM 18's, 245/40(235/45 not being available), they cost $153 a piece. Definitely not cheap, but cheapER.

My buddy had those come stock on his SRT4. He loves them. He hasn't autox'd yet, but he said he hasn't gotten them to break loose yet(yes, it's front wheel drive), even in the wet. I'm considering them for replacements on both mine and Cheryl's car.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the pictures. That looks a lot better than I thought it would. Very encouraging.

Were you on the stock sport shocks? I was actually thinking of going S. Tech + Tokico D Specs. +38 on a 9.5 rim is a really aggressive rear offset for the sedan.... oh how I wish our RWD sedan actually had RWD offsets...

Very, very, very SWEET. Nice, the drop really compliments your wheels which are beautiful. Would look good with centercaps though.
