Swap the sideskirts for painted wrx and it would be clean. I like the rear bumper. Reminds me of a Gen 3 Viper.

Would any other adjustments be necessary or could I simply slap these on and go for years to come. I know Rota makes formula mesh's in a higher offset. From the forums perspective, which direction should I go (35mm or the other offset).

i just tried this setup for kicks.

we have the steel grey formula mesh in the 48 offset. fits perfect, no rubbing and is definately the proper offset to go w/.

i just wanted a flush look to roll around for a while. i'm chancing wheels tommorow, SVNs are in
