i agree tarek. i think the trim goes well with the black wheels and chrome lip. looks classier in my opinion.


btw, i've got the H&Rs with non-sport set up as well. How do you like the ride quality? I feel like the stock struts aren't dampening enough for these springs. I'm getting some rebound. I may go with some Koni's or Bilstein's in the very near future.

I'm starting to hear a little Crackling sound when i turn the steering wheel all the way, specially when pulling out of a parking spot or going real slow! is that the wheels starting to rub because the springs are setteling?

You are probably rubbing your fronts against ur fenders..I have the same wheels and tire size and springs...I had to roll my front fenders.

Man, so it wasn't doing it the first week because they hadn't settled? You know when i was getting the car lowered the guy said the front fenders looked like they were already pre rolled adn he doesn't think they could be rolled!!! OUF!!

Yeah, the spring settling does make a difference.
20" may be pushing it, but it should have worked. I also dropped my non-sport with 19" #166s.
What size tires with the 20"?

Totally agree on the black trim recommendations for the black car. My Monaco Blue car is leased, so I can't do anything. Wish I could.
