My 2 cents would be to get a different grill that goes with the theme thats already there. Now with this better pic, I actually think the paint job gives it a sleek look, I say work with it Other idea would be get another set of black rims with just a little more drop. And with the theme thats going on, I say lose the chrome around the windows and rockers cause it kinda clashes with the theme. I'm usually not one to say drop the chrome trim, but in this case it would look good... I'm gonna try to photoshop it out and post it

The grille on it needs to be the same cinabar as the car or MAYBE black. Do the same as your red car or a TRD grille, any of those sorts. Heres your car without the chrome trims and just a little drop... BIG difference

Change to 20s? What size are they? Also, if you're rubbing, just need to remove the fender trim or do it right and bag it

WTH?! Dont even look like 22's LoL. I'm on 22's bro with no rubbing both before and after bags oh but I did remove the front trim. As for price, probably start at about $2200 up to like $4-5 best to check out the classifieds for someone getting rid of their kit for cheap.

Mines all done up as well, but since I did the work myself, I was able to incorporate it all to work together. There are many options on how to get air in there. You can use multiple smaller tanks and put them wherever they fit, even outside under the bumper if you wanted. Its all possible.
