On a side not. I understand that most people here will bash for it being so low and all that stuff, that's fine, but I only made this post to share my bumper and lip/splitter. I mean, this is the gallery... So if you could, please direct your comments to the look of the bumper, whether it good or bad I don't mind. I just want stay on topic

And I had rpf1's. With these lugs, sold them and went back to stock so that's why I have these lugs on the car

Tuner lugs form a conical interface with tuner wheels. OEM lugs form a curved interface with the OEM wheels. Tuner lugs on OEM wheels means the lugs are only resting, at best, at two very small points on the OEM wheels. Even if torqued properly, they aren't retaining the wheel properly.



Your OEM lip looks like all the other OEM lips. Raise your car up before you're posting in 2 weeks how you cracked your splitter / lip setup.

Gotcha. Always learning something. And I've been driving it for over a week. Just have to pay attention, the splitter is strong and takes the punishment.

Stupid, scrape inducing ride height, improper lug nuts, no fender liners, and hazy headlights. Start over.

^wow! Love the lip splitter combo (had the same setup b4 my current Cr lip). Not going to bash on your car bc in the end it its yours to do whatever u please with it. But....some of the guys do have a point--raise it a bit, get the proper lugs (for your safety and of others) and clean it up a bit. It isn't so hard to fix the small details that your car needs and you will have yourself a really clean looking berlina.

Ok guys, let me say something in my defense. I got this car only 5 months ago. It was completely stock. It needed some love, had a slashed top, so I got a hard top, the stock wheels are curb rashes from previous owner, so I replaced with enkeis. Which did sell. But am buying work meisters soon. The headlights were WAYYYYYY HAZIER, I did sand them and try to clean them. They look much better now. So to the dick head who just looks for every little thing to complain about... This car still needs love in appropriate spots, I will get the headlights refinished professionally. I do apologize that I replaced the crap bumper that came on the car before I had my headlights professionally refinished... Doucher. And again, the lugs were used on my enkeis... I don't have the stock lugs anymore. Jesus.
