it was actually like that when i got it, apparently it was hit drivers front side because the fender,bumper,grill holder,hood are all a different red from the rest of the car haha its barely noticeable though.

and no, i dont have chrome headlights haha its condensation inside the lense

Congrats on getting your permit! Now you can legally drive (not like you didn't already!)...

BTW, those nice looking rims are DSI's...

Nice!

The DS1s are not staggered. I like them, that is what I have on my ti.

looking at the pics it almost looks like you have a little more fender gap with the DSIs on, try taking one off and putting it side by side to your 15"s to see if they're smaller

i did that before we put them on and it seemed a little smaller but i figured it was just from the 15s having no weight on them.
when we first put them on it lifted my car but after driving around a little, the suspension settled back down and it looked a little lower, guess the only way to be sure is to measure if i put the 15s back on
