White? Are you talking about the polished center part? That's aluminum.

Umm, does anyone REALLY think I should drop the car?

Believe me, I agree, but I also want a Magnaflow cat-back and a CAI. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a while - maybe Christmas......

By the way, take a look at the rear wheels in the first and third pics. Look at the fender gap - different, isn't it? That's because the driveway is banked at a compound angle. On a flat surface, the fender gaps aren't nearly as huge as in the first picture. Still, it'd look alot better with a 1.5 - inch drop.

You should definatly get a drop first, new springs and shocks will give you a much more direct affect to your performance, trust me, it really is day and night.

With no blue or red on your car, what's with the hubs and lugs? ...but what the hell do I know?

I like your wheels, but no way I (personally) go a grand unless it's on some go-fast.

Eibach springs = $200
Magnaflow catback = $370

Another $600 and I'm good, but yes, I agree, although shocks will have to wait a bit.

The blue matches the translucent blue shift **** and the red center caps came with the wheels. I don't mind the color mix only from the perspective that they make the wheels unique.
