AMAZING ! but are you sure that the rear tires are 285 ! mine are 295 and look very thin comparing to yours ! do you have any spacers ? Do you know what is the max wheel width that can fit a 325 tire ?

and about the breaks ! what kind of breaks (pads-disks) are you going to install ?

You can get pre-cut tint film for taillights on ebay for under $20.

I searched ebay and found nothing for 07s up, only up to 06s.... headlight tints for 07s up is available though...

You asked for comments, so I'll start with some constructive criticism Running boards don't seem to match the rest of the trim. Are they painted or black? You got the tail lights tinted but not the reflectors in the bumper. Those tires look a littly puny in the rear and seem to raise the height of the vehicle. If you are getting 315's that's great, I would lose the spacers. The side view looks like the car is doing a bit of a nose dive, with the rear bumper/clearance quite a bit higher than the front clearance. Finally I would lose the roof rails or go with black M sport rails.

Okay now for the positive. Like that front end. It's massive but makes the car look really agressive! Not too sure on the rear bumper though. Also like the wheels. Nice to see something different from the 214 and 215's that everyone has! The black kidney grill is a nice touch. I would maybe throw on carbon fibre roundels to complete the look. All in all, nice job!

Amazing! I love the ACS kit! The wheels are very different from what other people usually buy!

The side skirts are painted space gray to match. Better pics to follow tomorrow; gotta get the big camera out for that. The bumper reflectors were an oversight; painted reflectors on the way next week.

285's are by no means puny (unless compared to stock 315's). I don't have spacers on mine; the wheels have been custom made to fit the vehicle with offsets to my specifications to put them right at the fenders. They are forged, one-piece wheels. The assembly weighs 6 lbs less than the stock 20" wheels and tires the replace. Yes they are slightly taller than stock, but I wasn't going to run 265's all around, as that would look stupid.

I also have to adjust the rear a little; it seems to have raised itself slightly over the past few weeks. Need to adjust the rear links.

You mentioned that you’re doing 325.30.22, are your wheels wide enough? I think 11" is minimal widht. Great wheels by the way

Rear and front tires are all 285.35.22. Waiting on 325.30.22 rears in a couple of weeks.

Not sure how much I paid for the kit. It's been sitting in my warehouse for a while, didn't have time to install it until last week.

All in all, I think it looks great. Just need big brakes and I'm good to go...

If those front grills and your rims were black, it would be perfect. Looks great as is.

All the best
