i like the air suspension, wheels, grill, n spoilers but what happen to the tail lights? did you paint the trim black while it was on the housing? know you need a CF lip and get quads+CF diffuser

well it certainly is low...my biggest question is, is it adjustable...seems like speed bumps and pot holes would not be your friends...
Looks really good though. It's the first white/black combo wheels that I really like. Very nice work!

Wow, very interesting setup, that's too low for my liking personally, but it is different! Like the colour combo though and the wheels, the matched barrels is different. Did you cover the whole side mirror light area with black vinyl? If so, does the signal still come through? Also, the taillights, did you intend to do that or was that overspray? The roof spoiler is nice, which one is that? Like the blacked out tail pipes as well, blends in with the diffuser part nicely.

haha you even noticed the tips...didnt think anyone would catch that. grill was done by me, bondo'd the gaps from the chrome strips and filled in the large "gap" right above where the bumper clips into the grill

I saw the blacked out exhaust. Not to sure if I like it or not. In the picture in the shadow it looks like you have a diesel car that has been running dirty... Haha, I am sure it looks much better in person.
Also, it appears that you have painted the headlight housing black, or did you buy c63 headlights? Looking very good! Perhaps take another picture of the front from higher up?
@ AlexLev, how do you know he is from the Northeast?

That is real low. Love the wheels I think instead of CF I would color match the front star. How do you get away with no front plate in NY? I know here on LI you would be pulled over PDQ.

Agreed, colour match the front star! Blacked out tips FTW! Fits your colour scheme. I'm assuming your taillights were as dark as your side mirrors eh? If that's the case, that's pretty dark LOL!

thanks for all the compliments! to give you an idea of how dark i tinted the tail lights the first time around...light only came through at night. it was actually dangerous. i sanded it off quick to make the drive to NC. i will be respraying them soon and ill keep everyone updated. the headlights were taken apart and i sprayed the inside black as well. ill take a better pic of just the front end. front star and lips are color matched (650-arctic white!)

Your cars a killer. I have a 09 white sport and have been in agony trying to decide whether to go with black wheels or not, yours look tight. I just wish I had the nerve to drop it that much but I don`t so 1" drop will have to do. It`s probably asking to much but if you could post a picture of the full side and full front I`d love to see it. You say almost done what else?

for those of you who arent sure...the car is bagged. when aired up there is no neg camber. ill throw up some pics of the full side, trunk setup and full front. when i said "almost done" its cuz im still not happy with the drop in the front. im workin a company to make some bilstein struts to get about 4" more drop out of the front. i also got a cf lip sitting at home waiting to go on...and some other little odds and ends (tinted tails, yellow lamin-x)

It`s bagged thats very cool. Who`s the company that makes the bags? What about the ride with the bags has it changed a lot? The more I look at your car the more I like it. The white on the black wheels is the answer. I really like the front without the plate, I told the salesman when I was picking up the car to not install the front plate, I came out after doing the paperwork and the jerks already drilled the holes, needless to say I almoust lost it but it was already done. Really looks good man!

dont threadjack! lol...I had the wheels color-matched last year except i had white face with a black lip on the pass side and a black face with a white lip on the driver side. this summer there all the same. ride on the bags is amazing. 0 body roll and handles nice and firm...unless i got no air in the bags. then its a little on the bouncy side
