Well - here she is guys... After weekend mods:
*H&R springs installed
*Shadow Line trim
*50% tint on windshield
I gotta give a shout out and thanks to Endless Details in Orange CT. Great guys, great service, NICE and CLEAN shop (www.endlessdetails.com)... Sooo what's next I ask myself on the way home... (does it ever end )
*Black grills
*rotors and pads (the squeaking is driving me insane!)
*calipers painted (no not red) - they have some baked on brake dust that I can't get clean (driving me nuts). Probably black or stock gray.
*LCI front/tail retro
I'm still up in the air with the wheels. I got quite a few compliments on them thus far and with the car sitting a little lower they are growing on me. Just keep thinking about the other options... Maybe black powder coat over the winter and I just live with them for the summer?? Still not sure but we'll see. Let me know what you guys think - hope you like it at least a little.?.?

It's very clean and the wheels fit perfectly. Less is more, don't overdo it, it has that special look now. Well done.

Look Great.. I told you once you drop it, you would like it. And I say, def keep the wheels as are. No need to change them. UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO.

I think I've been to Endless Detail in Orange CT. They rolled my fenders for me. And I wanted to go back and get my tints done, but they said they were moving to a bigger shop and lost contact with them. I'll have to look them up again.

Car looks great man!

Thanks bro - you and a few others called it, the springs do make a difference. I am pleasantly surprised with the ride quality as well. Feels really good overall. Not as harsh of a ride as I thought it would be. Def look those guys up. Really pleased with them. Will certainly do more business with them for sure. (SHHH but I have an Audi A6 2.7 twin turbo just sitting - blew a turbo... These guys also work on Audi's... Might have a need for 450hp winter car).

Thanks man - owe it to you guys! (and Micheal at Acute Performance and John at Motorcepts - all of you have been awesome to deal with). You weren't kidding about the trim taking a while to do... But DEF - I can't thank you guys enough.
