Are those 18's? I'd either replace the front reflectors with clear or charcoal ones. Other than that, its a nice looking setup. Consider removing the rear wiper to really clean it up.

Not sure why you got your kit backwards.. You're suppose to get fronts, sides and then rear..not rear sides and then front. Wheels look really small.

I would suggest some spacers as well after you get a front lip and paint the rear pieces.

my friend was parting his cwest kit, so i took the rears off his hands.

i was holing off on the front lip to see how low the bumper would be after the drop. i can run an INGS with no problem.

I would feel awkward driving like that. There is no pattern, so everything just looks random. I would at least ditch the skirts until you find a lip, or get rid of them all together.

Yeah, it looks like it'll come together soon enough even though you took an irregular approach to the add ons.

Looks good. Agree with the piecemeal nature of the rear and sides. I think this perception is exacerbated by the wheels. Push them out and everything will look better.
