New pics make the front end fitment look really off. I know you're not looking for paint/body work right now, but lining those parts up might help.

I still think a thinner sidewall would help the overall stance a lot too. It just doesn't look like a 1.8 inch drop to me (which is what I found the Progress Tials are supposed to be).

The headlight fitment is off, I do need to fix it. I guess they got that way when I took them off to install the grill. I just slapped them on, I didnt know they would be mis-aligned.
I need a new screw for the driver side on the bumper cover. I lost it and used a regular one which is why it sags a bit.
The fender is a bit off because I hit a center divider at 10MPH. It pushed the rim up and hit the fender slightly. Im not sure if I can fix this but ill try.
Thanks for the comment, its bugging me now so it should be fixed ASAP. :ok:
The car has never been in an accident.

Front lip is there.
Si lip is awaiting theft from my girlfriends car.


I am doing what I want, im just asking for opinions. Maybe ill like what someone else has to say. I got plenty of ideas from the people that replied to my thread that I haven't thought of yet. Im only doing what I want to do.
Plus I wanted to know what is holding my hatchie from looking like something like yours, that f**king CTR spoiler.. Ugghhh I need to get one ASAP.

Fitment sucked. Had to make it fit straight. Not bad for $160.

1. those pictures are not better
2. that front lip looks HORRID, AND it isnt painted
3. your rear lip isnt painted
4. your car is a million feet in the air
5. your rims look like poop.
6. your car STILL isnt clean.
7. your front end doesnt fit.
8. the center vent in your front bumper is gone
9. your foglights look cheap and dont flow.
10. AGAIN. learn to clean your car...

at a quick glance, that is what your car is missing.

i could probably keep going though if you want me too.

In my opinion the first thing you need to do is slam it, and repaint

Paint front/rear lip, moldings, mirrors (after you get some that arent gigantic), fog bezels.

then slam it on its ass crack. and ditch the monster truck tires. but i do like those rims.

SI grill. slap your b***h and take your s**t back.


and if you b***h about not wanting to go lower, then i suggest you get some undercarrige bling (LCAs, tiebar, sub brace, sway) to give the 1500 Ram drivers something to look at.


other than that, i like it

What i would do:
more drop, spoon style mirrors, type r grill, black housing headlights, and paint the lips and side skirts.

and the obvious, the front bumper grill that has been cut out. I couldnt deal with that.

ok fine

11. get different mirrors
12. PAINT everything that is unpainted. NOT rattlecan.
13. get rid of that grill
14. i'm assuming you used that wax. if that is the case, STOP WAXING A DIRTY CAR...
15. get coilovers
16. WHEN you get different rims get SMALLER tires
17. lower it
18. learn how to clean it
19. take BETTER PICURES. not in the f**king bright ass sunlight in some random parking lot
20. get a real lip
21. turn your stupid lights off when you take pictures.
22. once you get coilovers you will probably think you are low enough, nope your wrong, go lower. Once your exhaust gets ripped off on the highway OR you are able to scoop up lane reflectors..then you are low enough.

They have to charge a $35 tax on painting ANYTHING here in California. They charge $100 to paint EACH lip. The lip only cost me $45 haha. It costs ~$500 to respray EVERYTHING Milano Red. Ill wait and respray everything.
The car wasnt dirty, I dont know where you get that from.
Not getting different rims, just getting some 40 series tires.


Comment the other 10 pics please.

Hows the visibility on the spoon style mirrors? I got these mirrors for my birthday so ill feel pretty bad replacing them =/. The car came with those stupid M3 mirrors that almost got me into 3 accidents.
