Opinion on possible new look
well, i decided i want to change up the look of my car, so i need everyone's opinion on the way i want to go with it. first off, i want to sell the bomex front because i think it is way too agressive for the car and is way too low. i hate scraping on almost everything and having to go so slow over bumps. i want to replace it with an oem bumper with g5 front lip. as for the rims, i want some 16" rims with 50 series tires since ill be turbo next year and light weight wheels will be better. finally, the shaved trunk i will be selling. reason for this is 1. i just got a ticket for no front plate and a warning for my rear not being visible and i dont want to drill into my bumper for the rear plate and 2. the shading on the trunk is a little off and that kinda annoys me.
i know most of you like how the car looks now, but this is what i want to do so im just asking your opinion on how it will look.
this is how my car looks now:
this is how it will look with the new rims i will be getting and the g5 front:
you can expect it to be a little lower. i think the tires will tuck a bit with that size wheel/tire combo and my neuspeed race springs.

Rep Power: 0 I would leave the car alone as far as looks and just raise it back up. Or get an adjustable suspension kit so you can raise and lower between the seasons.
That would be the most practical and cost effective imo. But if you want a new look go for it!

I have never liked anything BOMEX so thats cool...haha
I personally think the looks of our car are too big for small rims, thats just me. Id go with lightweight 17's or 18's for rims...
The G5 kit is nice, not something I would personally put on but i have seen it look very nice. What about Kaminari, OEM lip, OEM Aero, etc...I like those better but its totally up to you (plus you already have the other parts of the kit so I understand...)
Not sure what else to say? Good luck?

Rep Power: 0 just get a new bumper for the winter, its so easy to just change seasonally, if not go for lip kits...i like the new wheels better...but it looks like you got the bling, so get some volks...hehe
