Oh man, I was stoked when I first got the car. Had money saved up on the side from the job.. And bought the Xenon Body Kit, and Voxx Racing rims 17s =)

Also adding dual exhaust and a CF wrap so that the tips would expand pass the new bumper.

looks good. Drop it before you do ANYTHING else, its going to make so much of a difference, especially with a body kit.

If the winters bother you, coilovers would be amazing; you can adjust the height just like you want/need it. However, they are expensive. I believe the cheapest you can get them is about $800 dollars. I haven't done much research though. You could always just use lowering springs and just be careful.

I'm sure others will chime in.

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

Get some mild lowering springs, Mopars, Kazeras or one of the Eibach kits. That way you won't be too low and you'll still manage to get in and out of places just fine. I would paint the grille you have going on there black so it doesn't stand out too much. It just looks strange. Other than that I like what you've done to it. Those tails tinted would look decent, but the stock ones would look far better. :)
