Default just had l-tune aero kit and 19"maya's installed today

Had the l-tune aerokit and 19" maya ST5's (Chrome lip with silver 5 spoke diamond cut face) installed today...I have 19x8.5 (245/35/19) in front and 19x10(275/30/19) in the rear with nitto555 xtreme and amazed how smooth the ride is. The ride on the street is not much different than my stock OEM 17's but can definitely feel more chop on the Los Angeles freeway and bit more road noise but completely accepatable IMO. The wheels look tight and amazed how assertive the car still is. I wasn't going for the flashy/bling look and I feel I accomplished that.. I'm looking forward to getting the TTE front lip spolier soon..
I'll post some pics as soon as I can get a hold of digital camera..

i'll try to have pics up by tonight..

pete, thanks for the tip regarding the nitto's and wet conditions.. unfortunately when i went to have the wheels/tires put on yesterday the shop said they were short one bridgestone S03 and I was too impatient to wait another week for them..
