After the wheels, and a drop, that's about it really. There's nothing else this thing needs!

I prefer smoked sidemarkers, The painted ones seem redundant - sorry.

Have fun with your new ride!

Nice I like the color. Congrads. I got the same options just with electronic trunk closer. Sure is a nice thing to have.
Don't forget to post pics of mods

Nice motor my dad has the same colour and it stands out!

Agree with Chris the front has to be the first upgrade as I much prefer the 2010 face lift look to the old

It's a secret 21" is all I'll say for now.

I won't have my tires for another three weeks due to an unforeseen delay, but the wait should be well worth it!

Will you be doing a brake upgrade as well? 21s are nice but peanut brakes in the back will look horrible.

No brakes. At least not for now. I'm trying to get away from modding cars too much. I've been doing that for a decade and goddamn it's not cheap! lol

A few pics of my past cars so you understand where I'm coming from, and for the n00bs that don't know who I am
























Yeah, I've got a problem with cars.

Is there a left side and right side twist for those wheels?

Godfather, are you planning any mods?
I didn't read all the posts so I apologize if you already answered this question.



Saw the post of the HRE's so that answers the question. If you're getting wheels I know a drop has to be in the picture. Those are one of my favorite wheels...the HRE monoblocks with a lip. Good choice.
