Started off bad but it gets better as you progress. I would suggest different wheels though.

Some parts now coming in:

Got a polished upper plenum from Fresh Ta Def but not yet installed since I wanted to install it with the Motordyne 5/16 Spacer








Got the Mastergrade MG2 Trunk:









Got myself some 06 Projectors:







Ionic Emblemless Grill I got from iseechris and he painted it a semi-gloss black:










And finally some new wheels! Like I said, I live in Los Angeles and roads get kinda rough out here so this upgrade was a definite must! Volk GT-7s 19x9.5 +30 Front and 19x10.5 +24 Rear

Looked like a freaking SUV compared to Anthony! Needed a drop badly!







Thank you Marcus Cooke for this pic!

time for a big drop. Looks very good, just not a fan of the blacked out turn signals and eyelids.

I would definitely go back to the 06 tail lights.... Progression is coming along better tho. I was worried for you after seeing just the first page of this thread!

U mean the side markers? I have something up my sleeve for that but i will definitely retain the blacked out look for that! Having it clear kinda throws the theme off and it looks like every other laser red Gs here and i dont want to put amber side markers cuz it just basically blends in!

Cant do a big drop man! See all the scrapes underneath the car? Thats how messed up my driveway is! Sometimes its my fault though for not going in at an angle but once the aftermarket bumper is here its gonna b alot harder!

I dont know man! I kinda like these tails already and it gives me better visibility when backing up! Hahaha! Like i told everyone, just sit back, relax, and you'll apreciate the build in time! People try out ideas and its kinda dfferent just having them in ur head compared to having it in plain sight cuz there are some other factors you can completely think thru! The hard part is, it is expensive to have these ideas done and just have it all wrong when its there already! Lessons learned make the building process so fun and u can pass that knowledge to people starting out too! =)

Cant park outside my area man! One night outside and ill have a new paintjob! Hahaha!

Im actually seriously considering setting a board aside to lessen my woes on scraping but im gonna do the home depot lip mod for now for assurance! Also considering some poly splitters that im currently trying to push with Arch!

Or you can always accept the small scrape on the bottom of your bumper to make it up the incline. I did.
