It was a little under $870.00 all in (taxes, tire fees, mounting tires onto wheels, balancing, new valves, installaing new tires/wheels onto car, bagged old wheels)
I was in the group-buy so I had a $35 discount off the DWS, but if you get some tires before 7th of April, you'll get $20 bucks off their prices. Not shabby!

Thanks!
Thanks! I really like the lip spoiler and I'd rather have that than tints, to be honest. But we'll see if I get a nice tax rebate this year

I don't really get all the hype over the oem lip. Unless you really look for it, I don't find it adds much to the car. If I were going to drop $300 on an oem, I'd just throw down a couple more bills and go for an Osir or Reiger lip kit myself...
Nice work getting a half decent pic of your led tails, little bastards to get a good clear pic of... .. .

I do agree it's quite the fair bit of a change for an OEM lip, but I'm not too sure why, but it adds a lot of character in the front. I'm not a huge fan of the Osir or Reiger lip, though.
And thanks! I'll try to get some nicer pics of the tails one day when it's nice outside. Freezing cold isn't really fun when you're messing around with settings on the camera, lols.

You gotta love this transition period when one day its 20+ degrees and the next day it's barely above freezing
Canadian weather. I was in shorts last week, blasting the A/C in my car. This week, I'm putting the seat warmers on high and wearing a heavy winter jacket.
WHY?
