thanks for the compliments!
The bn kit is a replica kit. you can get it from Justin Pawlak (JTP) or on eBay
Fitment was not bad, front bumper was fitted really tight though

my only complaint about the bn kit is you have to slam the car to make it look good, but you compromise alot of the drivability if you want the kit to survive.

first time seeing that kit in white though, looks decent.

You are 99.9% right, I raised it to keep it practical driving on the streets. This kit is soooo low, if I lowered it any more, it's bound to crack. You have to make sacrifices, and this is the sacrfice I made. Not as sick looking, but practical.

maybe lower it just to take some pictures. I had thought that those starion wheels would look like crap with a kit that big, but I'm actually kinda diggin it.

Either raise the rear a hair or lower the front a hair. Paint the wheel faces black! Polished lips. I'd lose the mesh too. But that's just me, it's your car.

lower it more with camber. In my honest oppinion, bn kit makes your car high. It limits on how low you can actualy really go, thus preventing you to going into the dangerous lowness level. It just tells you if your scraping, then hey dont go any lower or else youls scrape your subframe. Aero keeps your car safe. So if your car is high with bn aero, then take the aero off and see how high your car really is. Its nasty.. Just lower it so it looks right with the wheels and kit ... and just learn to drive with it. other than that well donee
