Looks great. Needs a little lowering to get rid of the 4x4 stance, though
Are the lips powdercoated or painted? Very glossy for a powdercoat.

when i did my facelift the sports classic clear lights where available right away and they were 60€ cheaper but i prefered the standard ones and waited 2 weeks for them. Sometimes i think i made a bad decision

I was going to put 20" wheels on it but didn't want to lower it. I thought I would look at it with the 19" on it and see if it needed to be lowered. I may still lower it....not sure though because I love the way it rides.

The wheels are powder coated. The black lugs are coming.

The Rear wing is from Agency Power...as are the mirrors. Many sponsors on here can offer the wing. It is a great value in my opinion at $1500 retail....and you can find it for for a few hundred less.

The rear lights are factory oem on the 2012.

Here are a few more pics.

Don't be in too big a hurry to lower it. The stance is good now and you may save a front lip or two...or three....

Nice! I have the Misha wing painted to match the car. Looks the same as the agency power one.

Springs next IMO. I have my second front lip spoiler on the way from Suncoast already. $160 part... pretty easy to replace.

Why people ever paint them I don't know... they must have the best roads ever.

I also gave up on owning black cars in FL, obviously

Looks great. I agree about lowering the car. Do it, just don't over do it. If you lower it one inch you will be in GT2 territory. Have you considered a GT2 vented bumper mod? That would top your car off perfectly. Looks great either way though! Nice work.
