Ive been in too many rides that looked great but handled horrible because of the aftermarket rims. If anybody has any input that would be great!
PS: Thanx Hector for all the time and work we put into this car!
You will soon realize that looking good =\= good handling. It took me a while to accept the fact that being agressive and look hella slamm would totally kill your handle ability. As far as what your next step is going to be. Get some coils first, you'll feel the difference right away and it's a significant upgrade for any car. Check out the vendors in the marketplace section for some volks that you like. Remember, you don't always have to get what others have to look "cool", its what you feel about your car and what you THINK looks nice count. Good luck, happy modding.

thats my problem lol....i dont have my car here so i see pics and im like that would look cool, thats how i decided on the clear corners, still debating on the data replica R-Spec grill, and serously leaning towards it just dont know if i should get the painted or unpainted. right now im a t 4 brand new yoko s drives, z tube, pop charger, spacer, clear corners, if i get the grill ill be up to around 1800 dollars total....all items i will be ordering around the 2nd week of may so i can assure its waiting for me when i get home from afghanistan.

Thanx everybody for your input...

BloodLineG: I did most of the prep work with the exception of sanding ( theres something about sanding CF fenders that didnt agree with me) The shop quoted me about 1800 for just the sand and paint which would have been reasonable BEFORE the economy went to ****! So i ended up droping about 1050 for everything.

Goblin: Not sure where tower shop is but PM me with the details ill be happy to swing by.

Jibberjabbers: No its surely isnt your cup of tea.. actually its not even a cup! But good look finding it.

jLoO109: That exactly what i dont want. Theres a thin line between a nice ride and a horrible drive. Just gotta do my homework.

Yeah it was a hard decision to paint the fenders but after sitting over a sketchpad trying to come up with a nice clean scheme i wasnt able to produce anything i was happy with.... so they were painted.
As for just leaving the CF i tought about it but from far the car looked like pieces put together and it just didnt flow. The fenders were mainly to give me some more width so i can slap on some VERY aggressive wheels. I wouldnt recommend the fenders to anyone.... fitment was a pain and i think they needed more modding than any of the other peices.
