I think they look fine. I like mine as well.
Wheels look nice.

Get an OEM spoiler tho. That'll make it look surprisingly nicer

here are the diminsions of my wheels:
width: 19+8.5front, 19+9.5 rear
offset: 20mm front, 25mm rear

**question is what size spacers would you go with on this setup, thank you?

Also i don't plan on doing much more to the body except for maybe an oem spoiler, front lip, and maybe a head light mod. I would rather keep it clean and go for power like a power lab st turbo kit. What do you guys think about taking my mud flaps off im still considering it.

Remove that nasty rear wiper. It will look a lot cleaner.

I like the wheels and the drop. It looks like you could drop it further without any rubbing or needing to roll the fenders. I'd play with the drop just a touch. maybe a little lower, but that's just me (I don't even have a drop though).

My recommendations:
1. Spacers (but don't ask me for details...I don't know jack)
2. Remove grill
3. would like to see pictures now that you removed the mud guards
4. clear corners maybe? I just think the orange detracts from the look
5. OEM spoiler would look really nice; it would make it more aggressive, but not corny

Nice job so far. looks very nice.

thanks i plan to do everything you just mentioned. i cant go to much lower because i of where i work i have to be able to get in and out of the parking garage. I need thicker tires in the rear im only running 245/45's so when i get the correct tire size it the wheel well will be more filled than now.
