Rep Power: 0 yea, well its a work in progress, and teh body kit was a steal, ok, i dotn know if u recall my posts from lik a month ago, but i foudn this body kit on ebay already painted for $300
so yea, and the tails were teh only thing done to my car when i got it, so i dont care, im liking em less n less every day, but w/e, ther fine for now, its goin to end up a show car, so there fine, and i ordered enkei evo 5 rims in bronze, and i cant drop it cuz as you can see in the second pic, my side skirts are that low to the ground already, if i drop it i wont b able to park in my driveway, so rims with beefier tires should cover the gap enough until i move out, or jsu decied to drop it and leave it at the bottom of the driveway, and yea
cliffnotes: found body kit already painted on ebay for $300, put it on, rims are on their way, dont know about drop, lol

Rep Power: 0 That's too bad. I hate my stock grille and I want to change it too. I like the style of the SPW one, but I don't like how it has the RS emblem. Oh well.

Rep Power: 296 looks good, get rid of the tails, get ya some 04's i seen some on ebay. And i would paint the mesh on that grille black. Black out your headlights and that Sh*t will be tight IMO. But its your car and do what you want. Your doing a fine job.

More like Rims>Kit>Drop
Cuz if you drop it then put a kit on, it might scrape, so then you would be screwed. So drop it after you get your rims and body kit.
