Default I need your opinion. Should I put my kit on?

Alright guys, I bought Brandon's Auto Couture kit. But I won't be able to buy wheels or lower the car for another 6 month to a year ( Car payments, Bills, and School Tuition). The kit looks simple enough so that it could pass as a oem kit. The question is, should I rock the kit w/o lowering the car or w/ wheels?

Thanks Guys!!

Also, are you guys rocking any type of license plate holder for the rear?

Hm, This is an interesting question.

If you have the 17" wheels, I think you MAY be able to get away with it but the big wheel gap and then body kit would look a bit off.

With the 16" wheels I'd say just forget it. It's not going to look good at all.

In the winter I had on my L-Tuned Skirts and Greddy Front with 17" Factory's BUT it was lowered quite a bit.
It didn't look bad at all.

Good luck on whatever decision you decide.

That kit my look very simple up against those staggered 20" wheels, but with a backdrop of those 16s you have, it will look huge (especially from the rear, where the wheels are more inset)

i say wait for wheels at the very least!
