ugh, my tires annoy me! fronts are 245/35/20 on a 9'' wheel cause when i got them i didnt plan on stretching/getting fat spacers. so they are non stretched with only 10 mm spacer. my rears however are 255/35/20 on a 10'' wheel, equating to the mild stretch found in pic 5. I am happy with that one, would of opted for 255/30 if they werent RIDICULOUSLY more expensive. next time fronts will be probably 225/35..? i dunno.

as for the emblem, i thought the front looked empty without it... but at the same time can see why some may not like it. Honestly, sometimes i wish i still had my nismo front so that i could go nismo with a black OEM grill... i MAY go that route in the future.

otherwise, thanks for all the comments guy

I say go with coilovers, Stefan. Normally, I would say get new wheels, but if you get them, they still wouldn't look their best without the right drop. FYI, Chad (anotherg35) has a set of TEIN's for sale.

As for the emblem on the front & the OEM wing, they both look fine, bro.

The only change I would make is to get some clear sides. I think it would flow better with the front of the car & be more subtle. Rather tham the black ones that stand out.

yeah i like the stretch on the rear but i was thinking 245/35 for the back since im lookin a lil lower than you are. my fronts are 8.5s so i will be using 225/35s up front. right now im on 245/35 and 275/35 pilot sports.

hmm i couldnt find a thread by chad in the suspension classifieds, are they basics? i was kinda leaning towards going stance gr+... but if i can get some basics for dirt cheap i may go that route..

the front bumper gap between the hood and bumper takes away from the car - but nice looking white G regardless

Definitely get coilovers before new wheels, any new wheel you get no matter how nice will still look bad without a proper drop.

Also as far as what you could work on, I'd say take off the front emblem and maybe try to get the front bumper reworked to get rid of the huge gap near the front of the hood. It's really killing the look from the front.

Otherwise the car looks great, I wouldn't change it up too much. It's easy to look overdone with the black/white theme, I think your car just needs a drop and the aforementioned bodywork and you'd be done.

i think the car looks nice.. but the color on the wheels need to be brought out to make the car stand out.. for example white face or black with a powder coated shiny black or white something to make it stand out..
