no, its an early style RD spoiler, mated with a plastic front bumper, fiberglassed together with flush mounted turn signals, and the RD fog light centers turned into brake ducts. (made it all myself). but it got vandalized the other day and looks like ass now...

they're 16x9's and i want to run 225's but we'll see if its feasible.

yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if it was just paint damage, but they cracked a bunch of the fiberglass. so now its going to take at least a day of prep work to fix...

Great choice on tire size, I was worried you'd want 195's on them. Should look amazing! (if they fit).

hahaha i wouldn't want 195's in the least. I just ordered 215/40/16 bf goodrich sports t/a's

start off with a moderate roll this year, and next time i need new tires, do more rolling to get 225's in there. its going to be quite the roll fest to get the front wheels under the front fenders though... rear's will be cake.
