Haha, it's on stock suspension. Like I said, I don't mind where it currently sits. If I get different size wheels and tires, and the gap is more noticeable, then I might consider. Otherwise, I don't care

I am just not a big fan of a carbon fiber trunk or a carbon fiber hood. I however like the design of the vent on the hood and the styling it has.
Not my favourite wheel style\design but to be honest these look great.
I think the most awesome thing you did was to cut open your new LCI lights for the orions, hats off to having done that, I dont know if I would have a heart for that(lol)
The hood emblem, not the best I would say but I guess with the Carbon Fiber thing that sits right(lol)
You placed your front camera higher than where I have it, I bet you have better viewing but I had the hideaway licence plate in mind when I did the front camera mod so I guess I am still okay.

Overall, Excellent

I envy all those in SoCal, lived there for a long time but moved to the sucking east coast now
The appartments just bring back memories Then the nice weather dont know why I am where I am (lol)

My camera set up was installed by the seller himself, so I imagine it's the optimal position. The dude had installed over 50 plus cars last year when he installed mine, so I am pretty sure it's advisable on top. But then again, it makes sense for you if you're going to install a retractable plate.

As for the CF hood, I am liking it as of right now. The way I see it, if I want to paint it, I can always do so at a later time. But once I paint it, it'll be CF no more, hahaha. So just enjoying it now until I am tired of it (possibly).

Lastly, I don't care what other people think. I love my hood, steering wheel, and trunk emblem. They are boss.
