yeah that lower/left gold is pretty yellow. maybe its just the lighting but the warmer gold seems like it would work better.

STI springs and WRX struts installed. I am really happy with the look. Big thanks to Shea for the help this afternoon.

Ride is a bit stiffer now with the sti springs, it rides like an STi, so not too bad. Its about a 70lb diff in the front compared to the XT springs and about 3-3.5in lower. Glad I installed the 3/8 saggy butt spacers in the rear. I think if the car is loaded down, clearance would be an issue. Headed to merchants to get an alignment and the wheels and tires mounted shortly.

What RJ said.
I'm not digging the polished lips, but I've never been a fan of that style so don't listen to me. Car looks great though, I love the new ride height! Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan

The polished lip is the only thing I'm not sure of. But I figured I'd give it a try and see. Its not that big of a deal to paint them with the tires on.

Alignment done. Wheels and tires mounted/balanced. Just awaiting delivery of the lugnuts and she'll be good to go.

Add another to the no polished lip camp.

it is not polished btw, just machined, but I doubt that really matters.

Leave the wheels. Refinishing them never lasts/looks as nice as OEM finish. Anne's Jeep wheels have held up well though and that was Duplicolor wheel paint.
