That's it??? Those lips look HUGE! It looks more like a 3" front / 4.5" rear.... Those are iForged right? Regardless of what other people are saying, I think it looks tight!

please please please dont black out the tails.. coming from the honda world i think that's plain RICEY!!! it looks good how it is and the red tailights stand out more with the all blk... leave it as is looks good.
I agree... You need some contrast to offset the black. It looks classey but aggressive with the normal tail lights. I can't stand when i see cars with EVERYTHING tinted black, especially here in SoCal... To each his own though.

read up my friend I clarified the difference in blacked out and smoked out and the whole ricey effect... and even provided the pic to show what i meant in blked out... I did say smoked out looks good.
The difference between blacked out and smoked is that when you black it out its just more coats of paint. Im not talking about the overlays, straight paint.(the right way)

Yeah, I'm guessing the black is giving the illusion also...Wonder what mine are going to look like. I'll have 2.5" front and 4" lip rear with the same finish as you, except I'll have rivets (polished). That means I'll have monster lips.... Are you measuring to the bottom of the lip or just the flat portion?

I'd love to check your car out in person!

Im actually only measuring the flat portion so if im supposed to be measuring to the bottom then i guess it would be 4". Whats the status on ur car when do u get ur wheels?? Post some pics!!

And im down in Irvine area all the time so we can for sure arrange something.
