Looks great man, so what did you do, take the kit to the shop for paint and then pick it back up to install it? Classy indeed.

Car looks sweet, body kit makes it look perfect.

I originally though that you only installed the front and rear pieces and kept the stock side skirt. But it looks like you removed the stock side skirt and went all stillen.

I feel the Stillen sides "flow" better with the front and rear pieces. I also wanted to be different then everyone who install only the front and rear. The first pictures I showed didn't have the Stillen sides because I didn't want to take off the stock sides just for unpainted pictures. I'm happy with the Stillen all around.

looks good. the drop compliments the kit nicely.

nothing else to do but eventually upgrade your wheels. looks good with the stock 17s for now though.

I just ordered spacers for the front and rear. I wish I had the money for new wheels (not worth it in NY). Also waiting to get my headlights cleared.

Don't like the DDEs. Cleared lights is enough.

Kit looks real good. Inspired me to order mine this week. Car looks really good. I like the way you keep it looking tasteful.

Rears and sides have rivets, front has 2 screws on each side. All sides have strips of 3M double sided tape. I might take the front off again and put more tape on it.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm trying my best to keep it clean. But after looking at the pics again, I really need wheels.

^i know how you feel. the kit definitely makes the car look nicer, but after a while it feels kinda like wearing a nice suit but with sneakers instead of dress shoes. maybe not that bad because the stock 17s are nice but you get the picture.

either way be patient and keep your eyes open for a good used deal. also keep in mind you can sell your stock rims to recoup some of the money for the newer wheels if you do decide to upgrade.
