Looks dope but why would you want to say corolla twice on the trunk it already says it on the Jdm garnish

Thanks man. But if you look at the pic of it on my car, you can see that I painted the garnish black. The emblem is under the surface, so there was no way for me to tape over it or anything to save it.

thats awesome man. yea i was gonna say some wider wheels or spacers would even out the stance however i would like to say that meaty tires dont look bad in my opinion..i think it all depends on the rest of the car and how its done around the wheels. either way i think it looks good. i need stiffer sprins...i have mines on the max hard settig and i still get small bounce and scrape....idk. i hate messing with suspension.

thank you bro! It's not that the meaty tires look bad, it's just that they make my car look higher than it has to be. Are you sure stiffer springs will help? I'm getting a very faint bounce in the rear with my progressive springs. I figured the softer Swift assist springs will help soak up the road more effectively for my liking. Stiffer springs would be the last thing I want. Here's what the assist springs look like. Once they are completely compressed, that's when the main spring will take over. Makes sense for our situation, right?:

Thanks guys, and Chris, I just slapped on some 10mm spacers in the rear today. Will take pics soon. Can't believe I haven't done it earlier. It now actually looks proper because the wheel sits flushed with the fender. Now I just need 5mm spacers for the front and I'm gold. I contacted KW today about the little bounce I felt in the back. Found out that the reason for that is that I forgot to cut the bumpstops for my height. I was pretty much riding on bumpstops going over bumps, rendering the rear shocks useless. All is well now. On another note, my brother took the car out today and when he came back he said, "I don't know what you did with your car, but I want it on my Civic." ;D Did I mention these KWs come with lifetime warranties against leaks?! hahaha I love these coilovers!! Okay, this is my LAST post about them. Just had to get it out of my system. haha sorry guys

Do you guys think I should do center caps? This is just a bad photoshop but you get the idea: Current:

On the wheels I just got, I had a few options. I opted for the color-matched silver instead of the capless-looking black lol. In other words, I don't like black center caps haha.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I like it without compared to that. I think I'm going to try and find caps that sit flushed with the wheel and then paint it white.

I agree, either leave no center caps, or find flush ones in silver or matched to the wheels.
