Just H&R spring in a few months will go for Bilstein shocks

It is the lower of the 2 kits from H&R. Can get these at a really good price

It's a OSIR splitter with carbon centre.

It's red robins old one. He is running newer style one think there is another one on here I have seen.
Think I really follows the lines of bumper really nice only thing is its a little low on front.
