Very nice! off to a great start!

Diffuser seems slightly off color-wise.

Diffuser has the right paint... Its just the way the sun is hitting the contours of the car... I gave the body shop the VIN number of the car to make sure that it matches the color... :) Thanks!

After researching on the forums and asking forum members about their suspension set-ups
and wheels spacers, I have decided to purchase the following items at European Auto Source.

Thanks to Rob @ EAS for his excellent customer service! (Salamat Pare!)
Thank you also to the forum members that answered my questions! (You guys know who you are!)

I still need to purchase ST Coilovers and Vorshlag Camber Plates so that all of these parts can be installed together.

ROUGE ENGINEERING RSM's
