It looks completely different and so amazing. If you can post another shot of the car in motion, that would be nice to see how those gettins look.
What size rotors did you upgrade to? Please post details on the brake upgrade you did - rotor type, pads, calipers etc
I bet you want to be driving your car all the time now though ........................

hameed.. i bought the bradi stock replacement cross/slotted rotors from www.irotors.com w/ axis pads. they r plug and play.. heard and read stories that they sometimes didn't fit perfectly but mine did. calipers r just stock painted gray. didn't really feel any difference in braking but mayb its cus i'm driving (like sypher once said when he got his wheels 1st put on ) granny smith...very slow at 1st

Beautiful. 20's and chrome never looked so good to me before.
I have one small suggestion: take off the chrome trim by the rear window. It takes focus away from the rims and the clean lines of your car.

Your car is absolutely off the hook...My next mod I am looking into is the TIEN CS. Did you ever get a chance to ride in a L-Tuned lowered GS? I am happy with the ride but not with the drop from the L-Tuned, just wondering if you could give a comparison.
Peace,

Very very clean otherwise. What a complete makeover. The wheels pull everything else together.

I know I'm splittin hairs at this point since you car is already lookin tight...but my suggestion is to go with black caliper paint. In my opinion, it would really offset the chrome rims and silver rotors nicely. Red, Blue, or yellow would look kinda tacky and overdone at this point.
Just my opinion of course.
