new fogs and grill painted silver and black rather than all black...

fogs are the projector fogs with 8k HID's...

Silver goes with black the best IMO.
I used to get a lot of compliments on my old car.

I wont touch black wheels w/ my black 32.

The lighting on the front end looks great. But i think you should take the bulbs out of the sidemarkers altogether and just live with the error codes.

Anyway cars looking good and i dont mind the decal too much either, believe it or not.

Any clearance issues with the drop? Looks perfect... Once I get my CF front lip, and rear diffuser installed I'm thinking CF for the grill, and hood vent. That or just black them out like you did. My OE wheels are worn down rather bad. Maybe paint to black would be a good idea. Want to go larger wheels, probably 19", but too expensive right now.

I had to take off the bumper when I installed my headlights and never got it to sit back up there right, I'm not too worried about it though because Im getting my bumper repainted and holes filled soon anyways....but thanks for noticing haha

They actually sell dud bulbs that will just trick your car into thinking theres a bulb there, might do that. but it doesnt really bother me much

Well, as far as clearance goes....what clearance? haha I have none, and yes the tires rub a little in front, but if you drive carefully and dodge potholes and anything else in the road there arent any issues...19's look good but tires are not fun to pay for twice a year

Thanks!
As for the Hankooks, they are treating me well, lasted a decent amount of time I guess, and as for the traction its good as well. I was thinking about trying the T1R's..but I dont know if its worth the money...the Hankooks are best for the money IMO
