Those wheels on the car look like the OEM 18/19's. Have you been up to 150 on those ? How do they perform ? OEM tires on those ?

I'd prob take off the rear wing. It wouldn't surprise me if you were pushing the rear end down so hard at speed it was lifting the front end up. You may get some serious understeer. That front lip isn't going to counter a wing when you go that fast. At least get the LG splitter- that's a bit longer.

First thing I would do is put a coat of plasti-dip on the signals. Matches the paint very well (better than clear ones :yuck: ). The orange and red stick out like a sore thumb. Plus it's like $1 instead of a few hundred. Light comes through them just fine.

That big wing/spoiler ruins the whole car.

Default Wheels

Yes they are the stock 18-19s, I've been close to 190 on them. I am wanting new wheels but they are so expensive for these cars. As far as the big wing, the only people that seem to not like it are on the internet, everyone loves it in person. I'll keep it, the wing is set to the lowest setting.

You hit a deer, the airbags went off, and they didn't total your car?
