Hahaha! Yeah everyone's telling me to drop it. I have some people telling me to leave it as is because of that aggressive stance?

I'm rubbing like crap up front so I'm not sure about dropping yet, and I have a very steep driveway so dropping + new lip is big NO for me! Although the AC front lip does look good!

Definitely needs a drop and those smoked tails are *no comment*

If you are going to use black wheels on a car you need much more done to it to pull it off or otherwise just looks like a stock car with overly aggressive wheels. Black wheels tend to give the car a more tuner look whereas if you got standard silver wheels, a stock body is fine. Just my 2 cents...
Finally...someone who feels the same way about blacked out wheels. Without a contrasting color, they appear to disappear. It's not logical to spend big bucks on wheels/tires just to have them disappear.
We want our custom shoes to stand out....I thought. Just don't get it.
Put a blue stripe around the lip. That will help.

Well, I think it's all about personal preference I like my cars to look a little meaner and aggressive. Besides, the IS-F is a performance car and it has that "I'm ready to kick some a**" look, so putting on blinging shoes makes it look like Paris Hilton!

As for the blue lip, I did think about it but it's kinda overplayed or a little "ricer".
