Its a no-brainer. Wheels should always come first.

Don't be cheap buy the stillen front and whatever else in abs. You will crack/brake the fiberglass front.

Wheels first....it's like an unwritten rule. A body kit without rims just looks ugly, almost incomplete.

Unfortunately, I have to ride with my kit with no rims for a while b/c one of my Kumos busted and now I have to drive around without rims for a while. It sucks big donkey diick!!!

Aero kits are a pain in the ***. But if you want to be far from the ordinary and are willing to pay the price, they're worth it.

I guess it all depends on if you are happy with your "Aftermarket 17"s" , if you are then go with the body kit. I have to get wheels since im still on stuck with 95' honeycombs - YUCK! once i get the $$$'s they will def be my 1st upgrade.

Hey, I got your info. for the GD, but haven't received your payment or any responses to emails/PM's. We'll be accepting the last of the payments this week. I just want to make sure whether you're backing out or not, so everyone else isn't stuck waiting. Please let us know either way.
