thanks everybody on the compliment. well the volks i got off the forums over winter, but yeah im pretty sure there not in production any more because of the new line from volks. i want to say i have about 2in from my bumper and the ground same goes with the side skirts. also i did get the kit from touge factory. and yes the exhaust is a little short. when i had the stock bumper it was flush but when i got the new one it made the exhaust alittle bit short. im actually bringing back my car this week to get it pull out so it flush again.

Yes I am from Chicago, the south-west suburbs to be specific.

The problem is that with Chicago's roads your body kit will not survive at all. The road conditions don't allow for this kind of low bumper and side skirts. Even if you higher the car, I don't think its too low right now, your body kit will still rub especially over winter pot holes.

As for the wheels I like 19s on the SC, however if they are not super strong be prepared to replace few rims. I bent three 17 inch wheels in under 2 years.

On a side note your paint looks beautiful. What did you do to get that "wet" look?

well i live in the suburbs so the roads out here isnt to bad at all. you are correct if i did live in the city there would be no way my car could make it. and for the rims i am very careful when it comes to driving, but i will have to watch out for the pot holes.

Potholes??????? There Rays Wheels. No way in hell can you dent on of those. I had an old set of TE37's that I smacked into a bad pothole about 3 years ago. They came out fine. Did I mention I was doin 80 with no warning of the hole. I hate DC highways. But not to get off topic.

TE37's are forged so they are very strong. I have them on my SC. I'm not sure about the Volk AV3

Honestly though avoiding pot holes is parts of having nice rims. You get used to it.

Also who cares about the kit. Version selet is cheap he can easily replace them if they get destroyed.
