wow who ever painted your car the first time did a horrible job if your paint cracked like that from a hit.

Also please get rims before you put that bumper on.

Please paint your front lower crossmember / radiator support when you paint the bumper.

A fresh coat of semi-gloss black is apropo.

Don't rush into either of those wheels. Your money is likely better
spent elsewhere. Be patient, and do this right the first time.

This is true. But its a risk I'm willing to take for badassery.

The CF version of the diffuser is cool...but its super expensive. You cant really see alot of the CF, so I think getting their hybrid frp or whatever material would be better. It would probably be a bit more durable.

Get the diffuser, and then get sick offset rims with maximum lippage to finish it off!
