You mean like a "R" front splitter?

Like the look of this.

Never really thought about getting the exhaust tips powder coated, but it's something I'll look into now. How much did it cost to get done?

Looks great! how much have you lowered it by? Has it affected the ride much?

Thanks for the compliments, it's appreciated!

The powder coating was 30 euro only.

The lowering springs are from H&R. They lower about 30 mm. The ride is a bit stiffer, but not too much. However, the roads here in The Netherlands are quite smooth. Lowering more than 30-40 mm means changing the shocks, and I have kept the original ones.

Did the Talladegas fit straight on, or did you need spacer? You should think about getting a splitter. That would finish the front end off nicely.

The wheels could use a spacer, but for me it is fine. Not a big fan of spacers.

I could use some help with a splitter. What to get?

Very nice Roc! love the black on black look, and part of me wishes i had gone down that road myself.. what camera are you using for your photos? the aperture is amazing! my highest/lowest aperture which ever way you want to look at is f/3.5, and its no where near as sharp as this! you must be down to f/1.8 or something! the photo's looks great! (sorry for geeking out about the camera haha)

One advantage if you use Canon...the lenses are a bit cheaper (or less expensive) compared to Nikkor.
