You have a little room to play with spacers and make it more aggressive but right now looks amazing as it is!

I'm pretty sure it's not real dry cf. It's normal cf but they made it so it's not shiny. Kit looks nice though.

Very nice work. Clean and classy. That's the look I want for my car, but with a different body kit. The wheels are perfect & I love the headlights.

i have the most aggressive sl's installed and against regular te's you can see that they are more concave, pix dont do them justice, of course.
