My First Pix of First Mod -1st Phase

After months of research and help from many people I've completed my first phase external mod. I've done the following;

1. 25% Tint
2. 20 inch Concept One RS8 Wheels Matte Black w/ Chrome Lip
3. Vredestein Sessanta 245/30/20 Front and 285/30/20 Rear
4. Eibach Pro Kit

Special thanks to xCalibur for his help with the Photoshop work to help me in deciding on wheels.

These pictures aren't that great. The car is a bit dirty and I'm still learning how to take car pictures. Let me know what you guys think.

Before the drop!




After the Drop





Now it's time for some custom audio mods!

Hey man! I see you got rid of most of your chromes haha.. Nice wheels you've got man.
And yea, i was looking at your tires too.. are they suppose to go like that?(the threadlines, looks like both are right sided tires, but i have no experience in them, so i can't say much)
Thanks for sharing.

Those particular tires are asymmetrical but their performance are not directional. It's supposed to make a more quiet tire but I don't know how/why.
It does look odd having the same
asymmetrical design on both sides though. Semi-enthusiasts may chuckle and think you're running 4 same direction tires but they'd be wrong...

A little lower will be nice once those springs settle as Sam stated.

I have to assume the tires are correct as I didn't install them myself and also got it professional installed but I have to take it back to get it rebalanced and aligned so I will ask again. The tires are clearly marked as to how they are to installed.

Thanks to all for your comments

I think it's a huge step up front the way you had it, loose the front plate though, I prefer way lower but looks ok! Def get a front lip, exhaust is a must for Audio needs lol ... Not a fan of Black wheels but like I said big step from B4

Yeah man I WISH I could take them off; I hate them also but in the state of MD it's illegal to not have the front plates in. I DON'T want to give the cops ANY reason to pull me over if you know what I mean!!!! Maybe one day I'll get the ***** to remove them but I do go out at night so I need stay clean!

Thanks for the comments.
