Man, I love those rims... If I was looking for new rims I'd buy those or some Rotas.

Your car looks great. I love everything about it, minus the blacked out tails.

I know it's kind of cliche, but your car would look great with a black lipkit.

Underneath your car there are arms that connect to the bottom of the trailing arms and run to the middle of the car. Your struts bolt to them. Thats your rear clearance arm. PITA to replace if the bolts seized. I had almost every major bolt seized when I replaced everything. It was a LONG weekend.

And whiterabbit, I HAD a silver mugen lipkit but it decided it didn't want to stay on and fell off on me on the interstate. I'm planning on buying a carbon fiber mugen lipkit in the next few weeks. And I'm kind of on a toss up about the tail lights. I like em, but I also like the red and white. What do you guys think? Maybe I should make a poll.

I think maybe you're refering to lower control arms?

basically a straight piece of aluminum? in gold or silver?

your whole car is so sick dude, lovin the clean look. If you get a lip kit PLEASE dont leave it black, paint it to match the rest of the car.

Loving your tails too man, keep up the good work. Get a gallery up and i can definitely see a ROTM comin soon....
