I like it a lot. I like the "progression" pics as well. It's like playing 'where's waldo?'.
Imo, I think all you need are strakes to compliment the fuel lid and maybe a spoiler. Very nice though.

I love the MS sides, it just really adds to the car plus I had to persuade my wife to let me get those... it only took almost a year for her to finally let me get them!!!!

Strakes and possibly the MS wing are what I'd like to do next! Good call!

No I unfortunately don't. I lowered it before I got the sides.

did you change the shocks also or just the springs? I was going to use the s-tech but everyone told me that i would soon waste my shocks and also experience a bumpy ride. How does it ride? Is handling effected?
Sorry for bombarding you with questions :D

s-tech's really dont lower that much at all dont waste your time with them as I have previously had them, your better off with eibach or espelir (think thats how u spell it). I wasnt impressed with the difference the car was still 4x4. Until the new suspension that is. :D

Well, thanks to everyone for the great comments!! Makes me proud to be part of the community! With this car I didn't want to go over the top like I've done with my past cars... just wanted it to look great by doing simple things! It seems I've accomplished that by reading everyone's comments. Thanks again, I love this car!!!
Oh and rocket rider, to answer your question I just changed the springs. With such a minimal drop the s-techs give, the stock shocks are fine. The car seems to handle even better with these compared to stock, and not too bumpy at all. I can even still make it over speed bumps! For me it was the perfect drop.
