    After winter my plan is to make my car look better. I wanna get new wheels and drop the front end. Not sure what wheels id be able to get. Not looking to get 18s probably 16 or 17s.. and I found a picture of a car on here but can figure out what part this is on the bumper, so if someone can lead me to a website or something that would be great.

    Any other Ideas for my car would be awesome! Thanks

    What I want my car to look like

    I'd go at least 18" on the wheels. They fill the wheelwells up nicely. Throw in some lowering springs/new struts, window tint, black roof rails, different spoiler, SD lip for the front, some grills for the upper and lower bumper, new tips out back. Depending on how far you want to dig into your pockets you could get a different hood as well. Would look pretty nice after that I would think.

    Or G8 GT, lol...

    I paid $9 for mine from the pick n pull lol.

    Most the time a good used set will set you back about $200ish or so though. Don't even get me started on the crap that shows up on eBay, $260 for rails that half the clear coat is peeled off of........

    That's my brothers car. It doesn't look like that anymore. He has an MPD F1 hood on it now.
