Rims or M-tech?

What makes a more drastic change visually?

Getting the M-sport or v710 rims?

I'm all stock now, but want to do some cosmetic mods. What do you guys think I should get first?

I have a JB+, 35% tint so far...

Get new wheels. M-sport package (bumpers + sideskirts) doesn't make the car look "better", just "different". Some people even prefer the stock look over the m-sport look. V710 wheels, on the other hand, are definitely hot.

I think the aero lip looks better than Msport, cheaper too. Good value as the aero lip shouldn't be more than $500 (painted and shipped to the door). The VMR's shouldn't run you much over $1200 so you'll actually save money going this way.

You mean mine does not look better?




Depending on the wheels you currently have I vote mtech.

Hmm...not dropped at all...totally stock suspension.

I haven't even looked into suspension mods. I am still in warranty so I didn't want to mess with that.

But...now that I'm going wheels...

18's or 19's?
