Here you go! Couldn't take it anymore, had to wrap the bases of the mirrors in 5D CF. Looks waaaayyyy better now and complete haha.

Thanks man and Definitely dropping her, trying to hold out and get Coils with spring upgrade...may break down and get springs for now and go coils later...that wheel gap is depressing! As for blacking out the window chrome, I've been lingering around that idea for a while now lol. Still on the fence but leaning towards it.

I didn't want to black mine out at first either because of my rain guards but I just took them off and did, it's going to be a great look. Tanabe or RS-R, Tanabe more comfortable RS-R handle better and have a lower drop... look forward to seeing.. PS.. I still have my copper wheels and would be a good look on your color scheme, let me know if you may be interested especially since we are in same state...

Thanks man and yeah I'll probably black it out lol, and would probably just black out the chrome on my rain guards too. As for the drop, I'll probably go RSR down, don't want too much of a drop. My mind is going about those wheels, they were definitely a good look against your car when it was white...I'm trying to be good and not spend too much money lol, I'll hit you up if I decide on another set of wheels, especially since we're not far from each other. Also, let me know if you have any hookups on springs or coils!!!

Ride is looking tough! I'm sure it gets a lot of attention and turns-heads...!

Any more mods planned?

Thanks! I just searched a thread where you posted a pic of your car and that's exactly what I needed to see!!! Now I know how it will look lowered with the same wheels and I am more motivated to go ahead and drop her.

Hi! How hard was it to wrap the base? Did you have to uninstall it?

I t was actually easier than I thought to wrap the bases. Best thing to do is to leave them on and do it. I took one base off and it was hell having to remove the door panel and wiring and all. Definitely easier to leave the base on!
