Did you get the full 1" drop after the Eibach install? Just by looking at the before and after picture, I couldn't tell much of a difference. Also, how is the ride compared to stock?

When I took the photos the springs had yet to settle to their full potential. I would estimate I have about .8 inches of a drop now. Which is fine. Too low and I would be scared to drive it on the streets of San Diego. Dips, potholes, etc.

And yes, the ride is rougher compared to stock but the way it looks, the stance, the squat!!!! Sexy.....

Really nice with the best wheels .

Although it looks like the center caps are actually a slightly different colour to the wheels.

Unfortunately, I can't find a center cap in black/gunmetal. Talked to Eric at bumper plugs. No dice. Drives me nuts

Your probably going have to paint it yourself or have a body shop paint it for you. You can always do a wrap on the caps with vinyl or something like that?

Yes these wheels come with colour center caps by default if I remember correctly.

That's correct. Doesn't really flow with the silver and black theme. I might have to get creative. Vinyl wrap or paint could work.
