Hi all, just thought I would start a build thread here.

Bought my 2012 CBP Si New with only 3 miles on it in August of 2012. It now has 9,000 miles on it. Every single one of them have been enjoyed to the greatest extent!

Exterior
-Sti Lip painted to match
-Megan racing street series coil-overs
-red JDM honda badges
-red Honda centercaps
-8000k VVME HID lowbeams
-Nokya 3000k hyper yellow high-beam bulbs
-Amber fog lights overlays
-Nokya 3000k hyper yellow fog-lights bulbs
-20% tint all around
-5% front windsehild visor

Interior
-HFP red floor mats
-LED panel "super white" dome lights



The day after I took it off the lot!

Nice ride. Did the handling improve much when you lowered it?

The car handles SO well now! Takes corners like a champ! And its pretty darn close to stock, even how low it is.

Ill take a picture tomorrow, but basically from the access I cut off from the end I made a tab and the screwed it into the side of the lip and into the side of the fender liner.

Today I added an AVS rock guard for the hood and AVS window Visors as well! I love the look they added to the car!

So what kind of rims/size/tire size do you guys think I should go with!? Im open to any suggestions!
 
17"s or 18" x 8 - 9.5" with offset less than 40. wrapped in 225/45. Is the what 99% of users are doing. I've been researching a lot on rims lately.
 
That's a good looking front end. What camber arms did you get?
 
Hey guys! I found my dream rims! But the least aggressive offset they have is 18x9 +25

Do you guys think I could fit these with fender work and a little bit of camber? I'm needing some input before I drop that amount of cash
