Soolman - thats a sick ride bro. how did you paint the valence? with plasti-dip or something else? thats definitely something i want to do
RDDLINE - thanks brother i couldnt be happier with it (cept when all my mods are done hehe) i will look into the H&R, only thing is if i get H&R id need a front and back camber kit no?
Ayarj - thats what im thinkin too man, i dont want to take it all off and have to deal with hassle of puttin something back on later. think ill go with your suggestion and take it off slowly and im definitely going to smoke my lights. would you guys go with a cover or just straight paint em with some light paint that i can get off with graffiti remover?

I agree with soolman. Paint the valence, smoke the tails, and then see how you like it before you remove the emblems. Any pics from the side. Maybe you could powder coat the rims black and leave a polished lip

I got my wheels at a place called Wheel and Tire Connection on Rockfield and Bake (real close to the spectrum) and as they were changing my wheels, sent my grill, spoiler, and emblem off to one of their "people" to get it painted. In total, it cost about $500-600 including the smoke tails. Not sure of total since he gave me a deal with the wheels.

You just have to weigh the benefit of your tires lasting longer, but spending money on a F&R camber kit + install vs. replacing tires more frequently.

Thanks very much im definitely happy with the white i decided to get. there was a black and the graphite there as well that looked just as good, but im happy with this
Not necessarily. It all depends on what kind of wear you want to put your tires through. If you want to wear through them normally, then you will need a camber kit with an H&R drop. If you dont mind negative camber and going through tires a bit more frequently, then you dont need to spend any extra money on a camber kit.

Off topic, but do you know how i would tell if spacers would work on my car, ive got 20" MHT forged montage editions, is there a formula to use? or is it just something i try and hope for the best
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions guys
