More low, red lights, and a few other things

I finally got around to installing my springs and getting an alignment. I went with ford racing K springs and I'm completely happy with the drop and ride. I think it actually looks lower in person. I was bored tonight and painted the inner part of the rims and tinted my tail lights all red. I should have a gloss black roof and gt500 spoiler in soon

Need to change those rims ASAP, something more aggressive to go with that drop.

Otherwise nice looking car.

That touch you did looks awesome!

However I agree that all stock wheels aren't "aggressive" enough once lowered. They are too tucked under into the wheel well. That's how my stock CS wheels are. Didn't like the look.

I bought red tint off a guy I knew from my old BMW forum. I think they sell red nightshade as well, which would probably look better.

I have a brand new set of RTRs coming my way under warranty. Thinking of not installing and selling them for something different. Hmmm

Lamin-x.com sells the red tint, for anyone else wondering. I really like the little accent on the wheels! Could throw some 0.5" spacers on front and rear for now...
