[Image: c87d6fd169d7e90f0c6406164e12d7c1.jpg] it still didn’t feel right so I got Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs, 19” inch wheels, side skirts and projector headlamps with HIDs. The look I was going for, started to take shape. Wasn’t quite ok with the colour shift in the titanium colour wheels so I went for silver. Nothing beats silver.

She’s now been de-badged at the rear. Plasti dipped front grill with four coats of matte black and 3 coats of Glossifier. Rear diffuser has been Plasti dipped as well but in white to give it a more integrated look. Silver gators fitted. Griffin logo at the rear sprayed gloss black.

That chrome trim on the rear bumper looked out of place so I sprayed it white too. [Image: fdbd2ccb974b76ac4249081456088e1b.jpg]

No errors. Only the main beam has HID bulbs in them.

Thanks. She about to look nicer. Bouta fit it with some beefier side skirts. Just put a front lip on it. [Image: b080b37dd0cbd6de96a53f580cd1d602.jpg]

I’ll probably be throwing them away.
They got cracks already and could crack some more during removal as they’re sealed to the car’a body but I’ll see how it goes and then update you.
