These are on order as well. I think they will look clean.

22*9 .... we are gonna test out a few tire sizes once they show up. H&R are working on springs now.

6 weeks out tho. Borla SType and turbosmart BOV are on the way.

Nice upgrades. Looking forward to the finished product! How much of a change on lighting at night with the tinted lights?

Honestly nothing really ... it looks darker because of the housing is already black in the headlights.

It is the lightest tint. My main issue was the amber BS side markers

It the smoke “ luxe “ brand over the amber marker then light luxe gloss over the whole headlight. He cut the smoke perfectly to cover the amber.

They're just tips, and I'm pretty sure they're knock offs as they were very inexpensive and from China. They're actually pretty nice and make it look so much better.
