I'd need to lower a little but... $$$$
(by the way, I replaced the Audi decals)
Well I got the wheels for a killing deal; and I'm not going to be critical on your wheels but these are forged, really light.
And they are 3 piece.(err 2)..
And also My fitment is more agressive than yours
*yawn*- 19x10 rear ; 19x9 fronts
+35 offset..

And I'm running 275's rear; 245's front.

I think its the L-Tuned grille(It says L-sportline on the bottom of the grille).

I got the car that way.
(I claybarred it once) took out the wax residue buildup but its back..
I need a new front bumper either way.

Well being a broke freshman in college doesn't help

Car looks nice, I would spend the money to get the paint work touched up though... How do you like the Direzza DZ101s
Maybe its me but they seem soft?
And a bit on the noisy side?
Also the DZ101's run thin I think slightly (The 275's on the rears are slightly stretched on mine)

That's definitely not the L-Tuned grill. If it says L-Sportline then it's the L-Sportline.

The L-Sportline, TRD and TTE look similar but the L-Tuned has a bar across the middle, so you can distinguish it from the other three. Nonetheless, the L-Sportline is a good looking grill especially with the L emblem in the middle.
