Man, I think an MS3 front end on the 3 sedan would look cool, though.

I have actually been tossing the idea of putting on a MS3 front bumper cover entirely... but I have seen that link before, yeah, it's pretty nice.

So, with the impending bodywork to the car soon coming, I decided now was the time to get the widemouth grille I have been eyeing, so that I can get it painted at the same time as the rest of my front end. It arrived today.

Got a Whiteline strut tower brace installed last weekend, and finally replaced the strut tower bolt I broke putting it in :)

Sorry for the crappy picture.

Also installed my new Eibach Pro Kit springs today. The drop is not as much as I thought it would be, but nice nonetheless. Bye bye monster truck!

Seems like they didn't drop as much on the sedan. The kit gave me about 1 finger width between tire and fender in front and 2 fingers in rear. Nice work. Keep after it.

that's a nice even drop... the fender gap is even all the way around just the way I like it.

I didn't have to use any spacers for my fogs. I think you should be fine chris.

The fogs are different, if you dont want the bulb to rattle around you might want them. Granted your headlights are a little different than mine but i feel like theyd be fairly similar
