One more advice (actually two)...
Red rear reflectors until you get that M-tech kit (the reflectors are only ~ $25 anyway) and perhaps a sport muffler which I promise will make your stereo unused for at least two weeks.

Sup Centurion,
Yea, my car looks like a 4x4 lolz. But I'm hesitant to mess w/ the stock springs tho. Too scared!
No doubt the 20"s look much better, I think yours looks perfect. I thought the huge lips would offset some of the space in the fender, but I guess it didn't as much as I thought it would.
On the other hand, it does look a lot bigger than some of the 19"s I've seen. The fact that I have a black car doesn't help matters any either. I think black cars look bigger for some strange reason!
Although I think the red reflectors look goood, I'm going to save the $25 and apply it towards the M-Kit. LoLz, since I have a black car, that part doesn't bother me much.
Just enough to cover the space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. The ride quality will obviously suffer somewhat as there is less freeplay or room for absorption coupled with a stiffer spring.

The price of the M-kit sure is making it hard to pull the trigger on the Hamann.

Thanks guys. The spoiler came from the dealer parts dept. It was around $450 I believe painted.

Nice rims. A friend of mine used the Breyton coils to lower his ride by about 1.5cm after installing the 166M rims. Looks alot more aggressive now. It doesn't have any effect on his ride.
