welcome to the jungle. Very simple but very clean; that's how it's gotta be. No need to extravagant wide body kits that don't even look good. Keep it up bro.

I cant decide if i want to tint the tails or not, im not very into the totally blacked out look, i like the contrast of the red tails, im lowered on NF210's, however if someone is willing to help me paint the inside of my 06 heads that'd be awesome.

For some reason it still looks higher then normal, I'm lowered on NF210's also but it looks lowered. What are the tire specs for those wheels again? Hopefully you went to go get an alignment already. The new color is tough to tell in the pictures though. Looks alot better for sure.

Brian,

I would wait to get an alignment. Give the springs some time to settle since they are brand new. You'll find that the car will sit a little lower in a couple of weeks. Then get the alignment.

Or you could go to NTB and pay for the 5 year alignment now. Go back in a month and have them check it and correct whatever needs to be corrected.

Thanks, i saw your post about switching to the SVN-R i think the torques done in gloss black look perfect, i get countless compliments on the set up, however with your kit i would go +1, they look perfect with a stock body and a tanabe drop IMO.
