Default Just started moding...

Whatup Friends...

Recent newbie to CL. Just started to mod my '08 AWD with some Road Magnets and 19x8.5 MRR HR2's. I'm hoping to add tints soon. What else would you guys recommend for my car? Attached are some recent shots. Hope you guys like it!

Wait, not sure if they make coils for the AWD.

If not, get the GFX kit while it's on sale

Yeah, I would've loved to put some coils on, but I'd be one of hundreds -- maybe even thousands -- of AWD owners clamoring for them. I must say, moding is quite the addiction. No matter how much you try to limit yourself on the amount of $$$ you spend, you just can't stop!! It's fun to say the least

35% all around seems to be popular, and for good reason.

Balanced - not too dark and not too light.

Go from there depending on your preference.

Thanks very much. What are some good places to buy these parts? I know about sewell and the dealerships (ripoff, I know...). But any secrets you'd like to offer would be great
