I heard the Crawford are supposed to be better then the Stillen's design. Although the Crawfords are pricey.
Never done...................

the same mods except I didn't spend that much at
Stillen....I went with Nismo. You "Really" do need
wheels to complete the LOOK. You don't have to
go with 20s just something with a little bling......
Good Job............!!
Thanks Gary. I really would have liked to get some gunmetal SF Winning. There was a used set for sale with BFG g-Force (I believe they were 19"). Would have loved to get them but no $$$.

Can of worms? Okay, its your opinion.
Sorry, I could not afford the SF Winnings I would have liked to buy. But I will say I like my OEM 18's. I also have 17's that the car originally came with that I use for my winter set-up.
Front tint is illegal in Illinois, so I opted to have a 50% front and 30% rear. It looks decent and does not get in me pulled over by Officer Friendly
My grill is hideous? Your opinion again, perhaps you would have liked the old grills I had (T-Rex billet)?
The list goes on?
BBK... on a non-FI G? Why? The stock rotors are not so hot, so I opted for this nice little kit that Stop-Tech came out with that included the slotted rotors (Which look nicce BTW), Hawk HPS brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, and Motul Fluid. Not bad for 600 bucks. Cross drilled? Hmmm, those look nice but I have heard of them cracking. Not reallly interested in that.
No offense was taken EXCEPT the "a car thats just thrown together". Thrown together? I don't think so. A lot of hard work was put into that car and I did a lot of research on the parts I added (just look at my suspension - that was not thrown together). Sure, there was some trial and error. I had a AEM CAI at first, but got rid of that when my filter was killed by the Chicago winter. I had the T-Rex grills, liked those at first, but they started to irk me after awhile (plus salt from the winter would do bad things to those so i would have to swap them every fal and spring).
Perhaps you are going to put me over the coals for driving my G in the winter? Sorry, this is my everyday driver.
I appreciate that you replied with your opinions and not just said "Your car looks teh ghey". But what I did not appreciate is you calling out gary as "one of the dumber members on this forum". How lame is that? Sure, he replied with the no taste and you could have been like whatever, but instead you outright insulted him like that.
Anyway, in closing good luck with your project, I hope it turns out nice and thanks for your opinions, but my "thrown together car" as you say will stay the way it is (unless I happen upon 3k to pick up those used SF Winnings with the BFG tires
)

My opinion:
-I love the look of the engine bay but it does not match anything on the car.
-I dont like the dark tint in rear and light tint in front. I like the same tint all around.
Overall, I think that it looks good. Some things are not my style but to each their own. Nice Job!!
