The red looks way better. It never fails how much a paint job improves a ride

Damn near perfect

Not sure what your roads look like, but a slight drop (about 1.5") would really set it off. And what exhaust are you running?

thanks guys.
i might go with a TII swap because i got a full TII shell sitting in my yard. it has everything except an engine. but i also am thinking of doing a ls2 + t56 swap..... so.... everything is up in the air right now.

as for the taillights. it is amazing what painting the black part and polishing the crap out of them can do haha.

and i really really cannot afford o go any lower. it is already dropped an inch. i live on a dirt road..... so i have to go 5mph to get home and wash it every time i get back. as for the exhaust it is stock for now with some tips that a friend gave me that my dad then welded into place........ looks good for some ghetto tips right?

Stance is pretty good. Lower wouldn't hurt. I'd go with some S5 tails, i think they fit the look of the car better. Other than that, looks great!

I hear ya on the dirt road tip, thats what I figured. You're right that looks damn good for some welded-on tips, no need to worry about a real exhaust till you're making real power anyway

haha the kit is not the reason that the kit fits as well as it does. i have some really good fiberglass people that made it fit.... otherwise it would not have fit so well. i got the kit for 200$ from a private seller in my area. one thing i learned for kits is...... don't buy cheap.

Do you know which brand of gp style it is? Iv seen quite a few that are "gp style" but the rear bumper especially is usually too aggressive for my taste but this kit looks really clean even on an s4.

nope sorry ..... guy said that he had the boxes that the kit came in but it turned out that he did not. so, i really have no idea on the brand.... also there are not any markings on any part of the kit to help me find out so.... really there is no other choice but to try and match it to other kits

I'm really digging the body kit. But, please stay away from the V8. The rotary is what makes a RX. But, it's your car, your decision.
