It might look ok depending on the size you decide to go with.
I say it's got too many spokes.

Thanks all! I'm not even sure where to find those lights over here but i would love to have some myself. My next problem is i'm heading to Virginia Beach in a few weeks and i'm not sure with type of tire to get..either summer or all season.

I can help you with that one. I'm stationed in Hampton. Do you plan on keeping the wheels on year round? If you do then go with the all season tires. With all the snow and ice that we have had lately, my Nitto 555 Extremes don't do well on the ice and snow. Summer tires won't get good traction in those type of weather elements. I've just been to lazy to put my factory tires back on. I'm thinking about going to an all season tire once these wear out. Hopes this helps.

What kind of tires are those? That tread pattern is pretty wild. Never seen anything like that before

continental dws all season. i think i will have to lower it. i'm wondering the cost of doing it.

HAHA! i wish i could hop on a plane now. can anyone tell me approx. how much it would cost for installing springs?

I called around to every shop locally here and I received quotes from $270-425. Many shops also don't like when customers bring in their own parts for them to install either.
I ended up doing mine on my own. You can get a spring compressor from autozone and do them in an afternoon

Yea I doubt you will be able to find a shop unless you have a connection with one, or a mechanic that would do it.
I did mine alone with manual hand tools and some spring compressors. It isn't so hard of a job, it just is kind of rough with no air tools.
Also just be sure you mark the way the strut tower fits back into the column, otherwise you are going to be kicking yourself.
