A drop is definitely needed but it wont be done till after I get my rims..this way I can ensure a proper fit the first time.

I just dropped the car off at the body shop again to get the mesh painted black now. MAN I HOPE I made the right decision to get it black. I cant wait to see what it will look like.

Honestly..if you have the chance to go with Xenon fogs then DO IT!!! Thats what I wanted to do but I couldnt find any locally and wanted to get them installed with the body shop before they installed the bumper or they would have charged more to take the bumper off again.

There is a guy selling his bumper on the classifieds man GET IT LOL!! See ya this weekend..DYNO TIME!!

But I'd have to agree, those fogs look sick and they stand out, take some night pics too bro, I wanna see how that looks @ dark.
Dont encourage me anymore...where do I get one of those CF lips?? I'd like to see a pic if someone has one.

Allright...the mesh has been painted black but now its too dark to take pics so I will take some tomorrow. But I can tell you now that with it black, the mesh almost looks non-existent. It looks more OEM-ish for the lack of a better word. I kind of liked the look before but its more of a Laid back look now.
