Nothing wrong with the stock look.
I have springs , bought them before I got the car and still not installed. Think it will never happen. When I look at my car I never have the feeling it sits too high. So why bother and surely destroy my painted lip ?

What a great color! Congrats enjoy in good health...!
Sorry arrived a bit late at the party, been busy.

Here are some things that may be of interest.

16mm rear spacers, no spacers in front, H&R drop. You will be scraping 100 times a day, trust me, so stick to stock if you plan on keeping the painted front splitter. Have since moved to 15mm rear spacers and 7mm fronts. RSS. No pic unfortunately, recent change.


Drop



No drop





Note the rear black turbo emblem, and the fabspeed type tail pipes. They arent fabspeed but look identical. No longer sold by maxflow... They have been ceramic coated.




If you will play with the black accents, yet to be determined, I would also consider replacing the side clear rear fender protection with black...





Finally, here is an idea about your center caps. The bold move is to get the crest painted orange as well!!!!!!! And I would consider doing the calipers as well as someone mentioned..

Ilko,

What an amazing car!!!! I freakin love it! That color is soooo awesome! I have the H & R Springs on mine. I love them.. And yes I go through spoiler lips more often but at $225 I dont really care.. The car looks and turns so much better.. And the ride is great. Even my wife didn't notice it! Here is a pic..

Enjoy that beauty.. !!!!! it's amazing! It's like a "Hot Wheels" car!! And the interior is just bad ***! The orange with that Alacantra really works!

Phillip

Hey Nick,

I was even thinking about going 17 in the rear but I see you went from 16 to 15 mm, I wonder why?

Ilko,

I had an oppurtunity of buying a SY, an orange and heck even a riviera Blue ( a RL car that my local dealer had it ) but found them to be too bold of colors for me.

Nonethe less, your car is gorgeous

Not a culture rotes, it looks better and ride is less compromised than you would think. So is the bobbing nose at silly highway speeds.

agreed. I installed GMG springs about 2 months ago along with a more aggressive alignment and the look and ride are noticeably improved

If you want a little less of a drop try the GMG vs H&R springs, I really have not noticed an huge increase in scraping, but I am more aware of ramps and bumps
