^Looks great man, but to finish it off i think you need a nice set of springs. and some aftermarket wheels, to make the car more aggressive. For springs i would recommend either the Tein S-Techs, or the Eibach Pro-Kit springs. They both give it a good drop and eliminate most wheel gap.

just remember how low the car is with the kit already.

measure your ground clearance, then look for lowering springs accordingly. if you want more show than go, you might just consider getting 19s or 20s to fill out the wheel wells, rather than lowering the car.

Looks very nice.

One thing that I keep noticing are the two front and two rear bolts/screws attaching the side skirt at the wheel well. The silver just stands out too much. I suggest painting them blue, or covering them with a blue painted rubber cap.

What sort of paint gun/sprayer did you use to paint everything? It looks professionally done at a body shop, I would not have thought it was done in some home garage.
