Weds Kranze Vishunu @ 17?
"Vishunu" seems like a Japanese mistransliteration of "Vishnu" though.

May I be candid with you?
The Mugen kit is ugly.
This is what I'd do:
Buy 2012 bumper.
Tasteful chrome accents on door handles, grille, somewhere on tailgate.
Lower more.
Buy huge, long spoiler, along these lines:
Then comes the tricky part.
Roll fenders, pull them if you'd like.
Take measurements using your current wheels as baseline.
Using measurements, calculate IDEAL wheel sizing.
Order cool Kranze in that sizing or within 2mm of it.
Have coolest GE in America.

Mike you can always be candid with me...seriously 
2012 bumper=yes it's vip but its ugry
Chrome accents=nahhh
Lower more=this spring
Spoiler=JDP OEM syle on now, think it could work
Lip=cf JDP lip doesn't seem to work w/ VIPish style, what to do?
Rolled/pulled fenders=done + I have a great shop here if I need anything more
How does one calculate size...measure from what to what????
Thanks Mike! I guess what I was thinking was some JDMish sport (PF01/CR Kai Emotion/RPF1) 17" wheel w/ 30-38 offset in some kind of hyperblack or polish would pull together what I have (carbon fiber/sportish feel) w/ a VIPish look...thoughts?

Measure tyre/wheel to fender gap. Both at standard height and various levels of suspension compression. Get as close to flush as possible without ruining your fenders.
