Default Photos around town/new look

I recently went home for a few days and shot a few photos around town. I also sold my teal kranze's and went in a different direction. I haven't purchased anything for the car lately since I'm saving money, but more things to come soon. And yes, I will be going lower once I tweak my bumper tabs, I am lazy

Wheels: Auto Couture Supreme 18x8.5/9.5 +27 all around, no spacer
Tires: 215/40 & 225/40


They call us the Sunshine state lol

no doubt, I had the greddy lip briefly. I'm looking into a trd front lip. I'm not really too keen on most kits, I only like a handful of them, i.e. vertex/version select, BN, etc. but this is my daily and I can't justify destroying a pricey kit lol

Looks good. Nice, clean and simple. Really digging the rims.

yes you read my mind I think a vertex will go well with your car but they do sit pretty low that is why I didnt get one but maybe a greddy rep lip in PU and some vertex skirts and not sure about the rear tho! Keep up the good work I want my roof vinyl too maybe after i put my kit on next week....

Thanks for the input! We'll see how my new job goes and we'll see how bad I really want a kit
Just make sure when you wrap the roof, you tuck the vinyl underneath the gutters and not over the top of them, or else air will be trapped underneath and bubble up.
