looks really nice...

and i really like those rims. one suggestion though, you should paint the new mesh work you did black, so it matches that stock mesh thats in between your headlights, thats just what i would do. but other than that, it looks nice.

Looks great!!!

I agree with Slick, if the mesh were black its would look REALLY sweet and match the OEM honeycomb style grille! and yes the car needs lowering springs like Maximarider said....but hey, all 4th gens need to get rid of their 4x4 wheel gap!(j/k)

Um Yeah I'm aware I need to drop it, we'll see what shock spring combo I decide on.....Should I buy now Or should I wait a bit ?
I dont know...Will prices stay the same for a long time?

But If I lower it my car is gonna turn into a snowplow come winter time..

I got the front lip on finally by taping it down with some better tape then I had before, but then I put a screw through each side and 2 in the middle through the lip into the bumper...seems pretty solid.

I don't know about painting it black...I'd have to see it on another car first before...

To paint the lip it cost me a case of Heineken's
