its actually made from a guy in NY. He was the same price as the mishimoto ones on Ebay but his covers from end to end instead of just the center.

I think it looks very good so far. Looks like a good compromise of aesthetics and performance. On the aesthetics side, might I suggest spacers in the rear to widen out the stance a bit?

that has been an argument i have been having with myself. I want that flush look but i want to do it right without spacers just so i can brag about offsets lol. The real reason why i am holding out though is paint chips. I know you have to pay to play but if i push those wheels out right where they belong my door panels are going to pay the price. Once i put on my INGs+1 side skirts it may block the front tire a little more and i may do that then. We will say thanks for the input. I guess i could just do the rear but i do track and stuff and not sure if the spacer situation would cause problems. either that or im just lazy lol

If you decide to go with spacers, get some high-quality extended studs (i.e. ARP) and hub centric slip-on spacers and you shouldn't have any problems, because the spacer will just be sandwiched between the wheel and the rotor as opposed to a bolt-on spacer.

Spacer out nice and aggressive my sideskirts take the beating, the door and fender don't get chipped up from it.

Spacers, as also mentioned, get slip on spacers and some nice ARP studs. You will be fine, i've been tracking my car with spacers for over 3 years now and have yet to have a stud break. The only problems i have had is thread have stripped, but that happens when wheels are on and off the car all the freaking time.

I really like how your car looks. I've wondered about that front splitter before for my car, but you pretty much sold me on it, looks great on your car anyways.

And the steering wheel as well, I like the OEM steering wheel but theres nothing like a nice quick release hub and quality wheel.
