Looking good so far. +1 on getting new sides. That bumper is pretty aggressive and the mud flaps dont flow well with it.

Looks good...ditch the tails and and get the all-red ones. I have the same LED ones (cheap i know) but they are all red and look tons better than the 05' oem's.

EDIT: Sell rims.

Car looks pretty good. The front bumper is very aggressive so make sure you get sides that flow with the front bumper. Don't forget to lower it too in the future. Your kit will magnify your wheel gap. The wheels look fine.

I will go easy on you bc you're clearly just getting started.

Next time consult before you spend.

See you around.

I did my research, read lots of forums and looked at tons of pictures. I picked my wheels/bumper/wing based on the information gathered + what i thought looked the best (and price of course)

I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far, some people may not like, thats fine, we all have different tastes and thats why there are so many options~

I think it looks quite awesome, it will probably look even better once i put on the sideskirts (looking to change the exhaust too). but that stuff will have to wait a while

Most ppl go for rims first then body kit, i did it backwards, i changed bumper first, then wing then wheels (yes car looked odd with that bumper and stock 17" wheels )
I should've had enough to get the sideskirts, but my father broke his arm and i paid the ER which was like 300 + med, spent about 400ish so there went my sideskirt money ._.

You dont need to consult before you spend, just research before you spend, make sure you know ALL of the options available to you before u decide.

A slam with aggressive sides and lose the tails...and your good.

I was reffering to options, not ultimate decision. I think he could have gone
a different direction. In addition, there are better wheel/tire options than
what he went with value-wise.

I'm not a big fan of fog lights, but that front isn't at all horrible. You need a drop; that wheel gap is ugly. +1 on needing sides and a rear to match the aggressive front.

Not a bad start.

You should invest in some springs as well.

the alignment is perfect, the paint looks like that when the car is facing the wall (there is a yellow wall infront of it) notice the paint matches when the car is facing away.

And as far as strings.. yeah the gap does seem kinda meh, but the bumper is already too low, im not sure i wanna drop the car. i wouldnt be able to park my car at home if i do
where i park my car is about 20 degrees upward, i cant park in reverse because the bumper hits the ground (yep already tried), and when i park upfront there is like an inch or less of space between bumper and the ground.

I was reffering to options, not ultimate decision. I think he could have gone
a different direction. In addition, there are better wheel/tire options than
what he went with value-wise.
I dont know what you're refering to, if its about the bumper, i picked the one i liked the most, and about the wheels.. they were the cheapest/bestlooking wheels i could find (online and local shops). I knew the guy where i got em from so i got a good deal (paid $1100 for all 4 wheels with tires mounting + balancing).

/cheers

i hate to agree with this, something weird with the lines or something. maybe the gap is too wide where the bumper meets with the hood and fender. or could just be overaggresive front with stock side that gives that illusion. also the paint looks different even in the pics with your bumper facing away from the wall.
