If you need a carbon fiber roof spoiler or rear lip wing, send me a pm. I've got a good hookup!

LOL, always tryin to sell somethin, but I feel you, on the grind.
LexAristo is right though, your rims are a little bit out of place for the kit. You should photoshop so nice racing rims with a 2-3" lip and see whats up.

The kit is really sporty and the rims are dub style. I think a sportier rim will set off the kit perfectly. Like a 5 spoke racing wheel.
I would have if I would have known that the logo snapped before it was done, but I would have shaved the antenna as well....I have a JP roof antenna on the way.....

Default Seize... awesome wheels!

You sure know how to pick GREAT looking wheels.

What is the name of the second set of wheels (5 spokes)?

What size and fitment would you recommend?

Shoaf... your car is loooking GOOOOD - inside and out. How is the monitor visibility during daylight? Are you able to link a camera for backing up?

Thanks!

Ah, they're IForged Aero's in brushed finish. As far as fitments go, I'm not too sure. Alot of it depends on whether or not you want to go with an aggressive set-up vs a more conservative set-up...it gets a bit more complicated when you want to go aggresive cause then there's the whole deal with rolling the fenders and stretching the tires, etc...if you post a thread about it in the tire and wheel forum I'd be happy to give you more input...because I really don't wanna hijack shoaf213's thread

Holy COW!! Seize did all the work for you! See how big of a difference correct fitting rims and nice clean styles can do to your car!

I really like the 5 spoke, but the mesh is ill.

The JP antenna is just for looks, it will make your car look like a remote control car.

Yes, it has an output for a rear view camera, as well as a 2nd monitor, and, I forgot, it's IPOD compatable too....So, yeah, just about anything you can imagine....

Visibilty during the day is great for the Nav with the colors they use, with a movie, it's obviously limited to where the sun is.....

Seize, THANKS...I LOVE those rims....Maybe V2.0
Contrary to every elses opinion I like the rims I have, personal preference...No doubt it would look great with new rims, but I'm content for now....The engine work begins when I get home....

Well, I'm going to mount it in the rear like a BMW, not on the front....
