    Looks great. Take those inclines at an angle. Just my humble opinion, but your grilles would look awesome painted or powdercoated gloss black.

    My driveway is safe to go out straight, plus its real long incline so its kinda awkward goin at angle, im just glad its about 1.5 inches from ground on the driveway incline.

    But yes, the powder coating grill black, thats already in the works! =D
    High gloss black! =D

    Take good care of her. I liked my car better when it was just lowered and rolling on the stock rubbers.

    Your grill looks different? Is that aftermarket or just a certain year was designed that way?

    Since my tC is now lowered on the Tokico's and Eibach's, taking angle's makes a huge difference on not scraping. It also helps when you have smooth, level roads. Ours aren't too bad, but back country roads are horrid, I've scraped a few times already, but thankfully not the front lip, its scraping the black plastic trim in front of the front wheels, looks like a tiny flap that hangs down. Corning is very tight and smooth and rides much stiffer than stock. Your grilles look very similar to mine, except mine are powder-coated black.

    I'm on 18's as well, Enkei EV5's HyperBlack 18x7.5 38mm off-set. Thankfully my inner fenders are still intact, one would need to keep in an eye on those cracks, if you have a cold-air intake, water could get sucked into the engine.

    I was debating on going with s-techs as well but I found an amazing deal on some function and form type 2's

    hopefully I won't regret my decision.
