AVS visors $99.00
Drilled slotted discs $159.99
Ceramic pads $53.00
OEM thing rear spoiler (roof) $100.00

Detailed it over the weekend after the massive install.

Next month or so:
Wheels and tires
Front aftermarket lip, I like Vertex so inclining towards it but GFX is priced good and painted already to fit my budget

Pics:
After the detail job I did


Side profile to show how the coils did its job.


I like big butts and I cannot lie....


What you guys think? Also what rims will look good? By the way all of this done by my brother and I. Cost me a few beers and some BBq

Looks great. And your off to a great start. I would go with the gfx front lip just to keep it clean. As for rims. You have plenty of choices depending on your style and budget. Are you planning to go 19's or 20's ?

My first choice is 19" second choice is 18"
I think 20" is pushing it and IMO looks a bit ghetto if not done right (no offense to those who are rolling 20"s)
Thanks!

It is very clean for the most part, the bumper can you use a new paint due to rock chips but other than that I got a great deal and I am very happy. Thanks!
