That pic is of the 18" works from above. Work VS-SS which i have since sold.
LOL. I know, forgot about this thread.
I know, right?
Here are some updated pics:
New wheels. Went dub status -LOL
Concept One RS-10 20x10 +20 all around
And 20's do require a kit to compensate for the ride height.
AIT ACS Rear lip and side skirts, and a WISE front Lip
Just installed the lip a few days ago, and havent had time to work on the ride height just yet. So i do plan to lower it about an 1" all around.
Next im going to have the kit and whole car resprayed the same Red.

Thanks!
Yeah, i get alot of mixed feedback on the black/red or all red. But it still think im gonna paint the lip kit all the same color as the car.
And the AIT ACS kit was $400 cash picked up from AIT, and i sold the bumper for $200. The front lip was $220 shipped from Import something on eBay (some shop in Florida). So $420 for my setup.
Its a daily, but i dont have to drive much for work anymore. And this is nothing compared to when i was rolling on 18" wheels. That was rediculously low.
It does. LOL
Now that she is on 20's, ive got tons of clearance. Just the typical front and rear tire rub now.
But when i was on 18's, i was slamming the frame rails on everything in sight. Dragging them on driveways and hitting any uneven surface on the road.
With the 20's i have about 3 whole inches of clearance (And that is a HUGE difference when driving slammed). Its nice and comfortable ride height, but also why I installed a lip kit.

I like those 20's, gives the car a nice clean look. I like the red on black, but even before I seen your car I was already stuck on white on black with 18s. I want it to sit low, so I think I'll go with 19s or 20s if I can get a good deal. Im use to the mk3 crowd where 19s is as big as you can go, so you've inspired me
I was thinking about an oem Sc4 lip, with the skirts and rear add-on, but I'm not too sure how the front would look

Thats not a bad price on a whole kit. I wish I could get it that cheap, as I'd like to go for looks & aero rather then performance first.
