looks good. You can pull off almost any color wheels with a red car, I like white or gold/bronze

grill is DIY.. just buy the mesh on kragens, then take out the whole front bumper, (take out the upper honeycomb mesh ) measure.. then cut the mesh on the measurement that you did... then you can either sand the mesh or just start spray painting them with black then finish it with clear coat.. tada~~~~

Very nice man, very clean. Is that limo tint all around? Looks pretty dark but could be picture. I have 15 in back and 30 on doors(coupe). Really want to go 15 all around or maybe 10. Cant see **** at night anyways, why not just go dark.

Very clean though, as i was scrolling i was waiting for a pic with some rims. Stock always looks good, but the righht set of rims can work wonders! Just make sure and have a little meat on the tires to thin looks horrible (in anysize).

Talking

OK...so I was really busy last night and didn't get to get on so i missed a lot of questions. But I'll try to do my best to answer them:

I'm actually just lowered on Progress springs with stock shocks for now...1.8" front and 2.0" back...Looks pretty good, only down side is if you wanted to get a body kit, it would probably be too low...but i'm wanting to go lip kitted anyway...

I just got my windows tinted, it's 5% all the way around. The guy who did it is a really cool guy and did the best tint job i've seen around here and it was only 160...i gave him a 20 dollar tip...

YES...i did the headlights myself...there's a couple of DIY's around, but i found a really good DIY on cardomain.com...

Same with the mesh grill, i found a DIY on cardomain.com and it took a while, but it was worth it in the end...it makes the whole car look different.

I love those black with the red lip, but man...over 2 g's...don't think i like them that much...

I also have the Greddy Evo II installed and the weapon-r Secret intake...and sitting in my house becuase it just came in, I have the Megan Racing header and racing testpipe...also i have the Vertical Doors from VDI that are sitting in my living room waiting to put on, maybe today if i can. The only reason i got those is because some guy had them for about 3 months and then decided to trade his car in and had to take them off, so i bought them for 400shipped...so i figured, eh...why not?

I hope i didn't miss anything...let me know if you have any more questions. And thanks for all the possitive feedback from you guys.

Yeah, out of all the rims, i think black with machined lip look the best...but like a lot of you said, just about any color will go good with my red car. At first i didn't like red, but now it's starting to stick with me...and it will look really clean when i get my CF hood...and haven't decided about the CF trunk and maybe paint the roof black...any opinions?

I like the way the lambo doors look...but we'll see how much i really like it once i have them on...if i don't, i can always go back to stock. I just want to see what they're like...
