Nice ride and nice spot for a photoshoot! Good rear shot and where the street says "performance".

But correct me if I'm wrong, front lip doesn't look straight. Could be wrong due to angle of the camera.

ok:

- lower the car
- change up front bumper... doesn't look right and lip isn't color matched well anyway
- if you are going to keep the very stretched tires, add spacers (and again: lower your car) to push the rims out to make up for the gap. if you don't like the stretch: get fatter tires, keep the offset.
- remove the rear wiper, it's hideous.

I know I need spacers lol and I havent install the front springs yet, I hopefully will be doing that next weekend.

Front lip is temporary until I get another painted and installed...

Thanks for the opinions so far

Good looking shots at night...

I would still paint the hood Blk to match the roof, and also the center part of the bumper.

Just take it one thing at a time, and it will all come together.

- Change the wheels to ones with better offsets.
- If you're gonna change the front but don't want to complete it with Ings+1 N-Spec front bumper, I'd say go with the Top Secret front diffuser, or even the Varis front diffuser.
