true, but not. and the only reason i say that, is that i see our demo everyday with it on....and when i see one without it, i can really tell the difference. the bad thing, is that the tC looks good already but, if it makes you feel better, the piece comes painted....where other ones dont. just to justify the cost for yah i usually tell customers it's installed for that price too, but yours won't be. but, yeah, at least it's painted.

love the look. Yeah, cant justify the look of the lip kit for the price it goes for. Maybe if it was cheaper or something, but it does look good on super white.

I wouldn't get the body kit, invest your money in a CF lip kit instead. Maybe even get a CF hood to go along with it. It will set the car off much more than the OEM kit.

Coilovers replace the entire shock/strut and spring assembly.

is that the Tein reccommended ride height or did you lower the perch mounts first? basics are one-way lowering(you can only change the perch mount not the preload) which means they won't have the right preload if you vary the ride height too much...

the car looks really low so i'm wondering if basics are meant to be that low(come out of the box set up like that) or if you dropped it a little from tein's reccommended height?
