Looks good. What kind of drop are you on F-sport springs?

Those tails are sexy! Also, are those GFX sides or the stock ones? Those exhaust tips flow nicely with the round GFX rear, what kind are they?

Very nice, even for having stock rims. Are you experiencing any vibrations or other issues with your drop?

Yeah I thought it looked a little lower than f-sport (especially on AWD), but some of the first gen looked to go a little lower.

Interested to hear how your ride quality is. :-)

Did you get f-sport wheels too? Sorry if I missed that. I'm a little slow today.

^^^^I've been looking for these! I know they're hyundai rims but, I can't get over how good these look on the 2IS. Did you have to buy two front sets or anything like that? I want these so bad but, I don't know what tire size I would have to get.
