Good job BK! When you installed the Breyton lip, did it crack at all?
Thanks Phi!! I finally was able to get some Euro spec headlights. Thanks again for offering the Euro Overlays, they def. did the trick until I was able to get these headlights!

it's a clean yet aggressive and classy front! I like I like.
Thank you! I want to maintain a "plain" yet "modded" look. I also have a set of Breyton Vision II's that I'll throw on once the winter season is over which I think will look good.

Thanks you!

On a side note, I know this is off the topic but, I have a question about tires for my wheels and if I need to start a whole new thread, I can certainly do that. Is there a specific reason everyone puts a thicker tire on the fronts rather than keep them the same as the rears? For example, I've seen people use a 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. Why not use a 245/30/20 in the front and a 275/30/20 in the rear? Could it be for ride quality or potholes? Could it be for aesthetics? I'm only asking because I really don't know the answer. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

your ride looks great!!! im running 245/30/20 / 275/30/20 rear, the fronts are thin, im more careful when driving to avoid pot holes but sometimes you cant??? there is more road noise with 30 sereis in the front. I like the look though....

Thanks brotha! I ended up going with the 245/30 and 275/30 setup and I'm glad I did!

Well, I finally threw my Breyton Vision II's. 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. I love the wheels! I didnt even have to lower the car. I didn't think the sports susp. was gonna be low enough, but I think it's perfect! These are just a few blackberry cam. pics but I'll be sure to load proper pics taken with an actual digi cam at a later time. I just wanted to give you an idea of the look I'm going for. Thanks for all the help from everyone that has helped me out and/or sold me mods! lol

It is because in the rear you are going with a wider wheel which throws off the overall circumfrence for the wheel and tire. We do 35's in the rear to try and keep the same height of tires as stock front and back. This is more important for AWD then RWD.
