Awesome mods man...love the drop and I envy the 05 tails...I'm probably getting them next month or so (crosses fingers). But you need to get the 05 headlights . How much were the 05 blinkers and where did you get them?

Love the wheels! Your car looks great, but would look incredible with a nice drop.

I agree on the drop, a bit weary of putting it on coils as I drive it in the winter.
Maybe I will cut a coil up front, the pics are kind of weird, they don't do the rear drop justice, it's actually tucking the tire. Bu yeah the front... yipes

and rlee - I hear ya! I love my rims

Nice!

We need to meet up before winter and do a photoshoot. I'll show you my Tein basic coilovers and make you a believer out of them in winter weather, so far not a spec of rust and they still adjust super easy.

I'd suggest the replica Brabus front lip, you can get it from toronto so no headaches with taxes/duty/brokerage fees/shipping.

Next mods I'd suggest are:
Brabus front lip, replica
Renntech spoiler, replica (I want to order a black one, we could test fit it to your car to see if black would look better than silver)
painted black front grill (trust me, best $50-100 you'll spend)

I am in let's meet, tell me when and where, I am on night shift for the next 2 weeks, I really want to see your coils!

The renntech spoiler is the one that goes on the hatch right not the window? If so I was looking at those in black as well... and for the blackout grill, I think a DIY is in order, I will look into that as well, I am just not sure of the look it will have on the car though.

Frankw: As far as BBK, you're right these wheels don't allow for it, but I was not planning on buying BBK's hence the choice!

Coupecrazy: I beleive we are the only 2 that have those right?

thnaks for the comments folks, keep posting, I am always looking for ideas!

Coils are perfect for you... easily adjust the height lower in summer, higher in winter!

We can throw my black grill on your car and see what it looks like, I bet you'll like it.

I am away the next 2 weekends, available after the 28th. Pick a day (except Mondays) and lets get some wings and beer.
