By the way, I like how you "blacked-out" the front "L" in the grill. What did you use?

Clear bumper lights would look so much better. I agree, 20's might a little to big, but if that what you like. Coming along nice.

Im lowered the same way. I rub in the front when turning but other than that i dont. But i just put them on and havent driven on them yet so might have issues once they settle.

As far as the grill it was painted the same time the car was, using the same paint.

Thanks for all your kind comments!
MRR makes those in 17,18, and 19s. i have the same rims (MRR hr3)18s on my car.CAR looks fresh though, the 20s will look good with a kit. here is the pic

Looks good as long as a professional shop does it. Don't use that stuff in a can. It doesnt leave a nice smooth finish. Most paint shops should be able to smoke the lights for you.

My mistake!!!

Your car looks great with those 18s, really does look better smaller!

Can i ask what lip you have on your car?

Also are your rims staggered??

LP_Yang, those are 18s? Wow, I would have guessed the were 19s. I guess the full faced wheels look a lot bigger.
