Well My car is currently getting repaired at he body shop and im thinking about getting the stillen fascia. If i do get it ill have to wait on rims. What would you do. Rims can be had for about 1400 or fascia for aout 700



vs The Fascia

With the Stillen Fascia you have to factor in the cost of painting it and if your having someone install it. Rims youll have to buy tires and the eibach drop is a MUST!!! I think rims really change the look of the car in a good way

yes i understand my car is already at the body shop and i was thinking about just getting the fascia while its there it would be 500 plus paint and labor which would be about 250. AS FOR THE RIMS i already and the HNR springs so the car is lowered. With the drop and the fascia do you think there will be alot of rubbing because thats one thing i would not want.

I doubt you would rub at all, the springs dont drop it past 1.5 inches. In my opinion i would go with wheels first

I say rims.

Compare mine and Roberts car. His car looks beautiful with the rims and stock bumper, and mine is okay with some extensive front end mods and no rims or drop.

Get the fascia while it is in the shop bro. sure, 700 in parts, but to install and paint a fascia properly, looking at about another 700 on top.

damn it's hella expensive over there... I thought it would be cheaper for body work since it's closer to the border.... I'm not racist, it's just a fact that a lot of illegal emigrants go through so cal and since they're illegal, they tend to do under the table work for a good price. and even though its under the table work, they still do a good job.
