My very expensive body kit is lip from sc400($100), sides are 97+($40) and rear valance ($60) who knows what copy, (not a big body kit fan).
Wheels are Super Advan Version 2 18X10 offset 24 all around, not sure if they discontinued or not.
Tell me about it bud but i do have a NA-T project in works as we speak. 
Do it, i think TurboB6 is selling his kit in classifieds section.
Enough with parked pics, here are some action pics.

did you have to roll your front and rear fenders to accomodate the 18x10 all around with +24? close up pics of the wheel fitment clearance of the front and rear? please?

Sometimes the pattern of the X-drilled holes and slots follows the angle of the vents and with other brands of rotors it doesn't . As long as the X-drilled holes don't compromise the integrity of the cooling vanes thereby weakening the structure of the rotor it doesn't matter just so long as the vanes are oriented forward.
