That body kit looks like ***, which is a shame bc overall the car is awesome.

I say scrap the rear lip front bumper and side skirts and start over.

This car BEGS for an authentic fabulous kit or shadow sports.

Not a fan of tires so stretched the lip goes an inch past the rubber but other then that it looks pretty sexy.

It' running a full Performance Friction setup on all four corners. Here is a larger picture of the front wheel so you can see the brake setup in the front.

I like the "stance", it sits well, ho-hum on the bodywork, and never been a fan of the stretched tire look. IMO, the stretched tire look doesn't go well on the Zee. Look like an misconceived after-thought. Leave the stretch tire look for the sedans. But as long as you like the way it looks, thats all that matters.

Was the rear wiper arm purposely installed incorrectly/backwards?

that wheel face color looks like diarrhea and the flushnish looks stupid..execution needs some more tweaking..

such a pet peeve when people by rear bumpers like the ings+1 ings N-spec or whatever where theres a diffuser area and they dont paint it black or flat black..it just looks tacky

Nice ride... nice wheels too, very ballericific!

Acutally, the wheels are HRE 540 not 540R. You have a stepped lip. The 540R is reverse lip which has no step. Just an FYI...
