Your fitment looks good IMO. Not everyone likes it slammed in the weeds with rubber band tires and beyond any usefulness to drive everywhere every day. I like it. Good stance but still functional.

Thank you BB....that's the way I was looking at it....if it's a once a month on a sunny day only car then sure, but as a daily errands running vehicle slammed would not be practical IMO...

It looks good to me. It's cool to sit low, but you still have to ride in his thing on a daily basis. That drop looks perfect for a DD.

SLAMMED is overated. Even Ferrari doesn't slam their cars...and it's a FERRARI

The tire diameter is almost the same as stock which keeps everything in check. The drop is just right for a car that's actually driven daily. No ridiculous camber settings needed either...and no stretched tires because of wheels that are too wide.
Very nice look...

OP did a great job!

I agree 100%

I wouldn't change a thing, bro! If it rubs a bit now, it will rub more frequently with an additional drop.

Looks great, but yeah some tire oil and tint would be great. Did you wire up your bumper yourself? Debating on going aero myself.

thanks...I will have it all clean soon. It is tinted about 30%. Yes I did wire it myself, it is quite easy. You can do it with a relay and independent switch, or by using the current fogs switch but not using the fogs in the headlight.

Car looks good. You need to immediately jettison the BMW license plate frame on the tail, however.

They're the sentra fogs and they fit better than the 19-5920-00 and 19-5921-00

I actually don't think it looks that high. Yes most of use would like a little lower, but he killed the gap in the front which looks great and only has a tiny gap in the rear. Perfect for a DD. The Glass TYC Sentra fogs are legit. I sold a guy on here some OEM fogs, and yes they were a little higher quality, but not much, especially considering the price difference! Keep up the good work OP!
