what size spacers do you guys recommend if i do drop it? i love the look of the tires sticking out of the wheel-well, but i dont have to have rubbing issues or squeaking.. lol
here are some pics of the exhaust. went with the tanabe medalion exhaust. loved the sound, but was kind of pricey. oh well, im happy with it.

after almost a month, I finally got my car back! Long story short, I was rear ended and the damage was worse than it seemed. Apparently I needed more than just a rear bumper. Here are some pics I just snapped. So happy my baby is back home!
While it was there I got some extra stuff done. First off, the wheels.. Got them coated in gloss black. I had a plastidip+paint-on-top setup before, but it had small chips and a couple runs which I couldn't get over. Thought I might treat myself to some nice wheels for next summer, and just keep these as a winter setup. The other thing I got done was getting the rear chrome lip piece painted to match the car. I think the rear flows so much nicer now. Take a look for yourselves and let me know what you guys think!

nope. did that the first time with plastidip + paint on top and it came out OK. had runs and chipped a bit, didnt seem G appropriate lol. The second time around, I got them professionally painted at a shop. Came out much cleaner. No rough spots or runs!

Looking real good. What's the secret of keeping the BO so clean and swirl free?
