here's an update with the lip on, though:

definetly hotter now with the oem front lip Uyles, man basically feel like i'm staring right at my car how it will look someday haha , not trying to copy your style or nothing but every mod you've done so far was what i had already invisioned one day for my car, i guess great minds think alike , but i guess i'll have to come up with a different setup maybe now lol, just trying to do my stuff right the first time around so its taking me a little longer than expected to get there just ordered a set of b&g's myself, so funds are a little low right now, but anyways the only thing that i would suggest is that you go with just the oem rear lip and keep the oem factory sides, same as flipmoob, jaewrek, or blktc, i think its the hottest look for the TC's and that's what lip kit i plan to run myself...but then again the five axis rear is nice also, but your car is really clean looking nice work..but if you're really set on having the OEM lipkit sideskirts in a few months i will probably pick up an OEM lipkit in CSM and have the sides for sale unless i change my mind and put them on but i doubt it since i like this look better, also have a OEM trunk lip spoiler for sale right now in classified section if you're interested..

I've never understood how bolt on spacers that are thin like that work. Are you gonna have to shorten the stock studs to make it bolt on properly?

sometimes you have to shorten the stock studs if the back of the wheels doesn't allow any space for the stock stud to go thru.

also, i think it was at least 8threads on the stock studs to be considered "safe" but then again... i could be wrong.

That's a plus. You can go lower too. I have to order something soon because the tires on my stocks are shot. I'm tired of floating down the highway when it rains lol.
