Front wheels look strange (almost like hub caps). They appear to stick out farther than the lip of wheel.

The important thing is that when your wheels were ordered that they were specified for TPS hardware or else there will be no place to put the sensors. I'm kind of surprised that your install shop didn't tell you about that, as those dummy lights are a huge pain in the butt.

The looks great and the VS-TX is a different design, nice job and enjoy!!

Your ride looks sweet!!! very nice mods!! I think you broke the record here for the fastest modding after car purchase The drop looks perfect, you should get a body kit, spoiler and the windows tinted next
