I couldn't agree more. They look horrid.
I think their vehicle was lowered by 1.5"
No matter what though... the size of those rims makes the stock brakes look absolutely mickey mouse!

lol a cold air intake will not void your warranty. That's just silly. The supreme court ruled many years ago that a manufacturer has to PROVE that any aftermarket parts directly caused the failure, and an air intake isn't going to break anything.

Oh, I apologize, it was NOT a SCOTUS ruling, it was actually a Congressional bill that was passed into federal law.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act
Now, like I said, you may feel free to add a CAI to your vehicle with little fear of warranty issues. People bring heavily modded EVO's in for warranty work all the time, the key is WHICH parts you modify. i.e. if you have a CAI you're unlikely to get warranty work for your MAF without a fight. But overall, dealers know better than to think a new air intake will cause harm to an engine.

The saving grace for consumers is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. The act states that a dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage.

It eases some of my initial concerns.

i have just installed a set of front 4-pot Brembo brakes from an Evo VII. to fit them you need to change the front knuckles and drives shafts (because Evo's are larger in diameter). Usin the Evo knuckles the caliper is bolt-on directly and without adaptors (which I didn't want for the front brakes).
Stopping power has dramatically improved.

Rock it as is for tires if you have good weather. But if you want/need to upgrade tires, the Outie sport is a BEAST in the rain and light snow with the Continental DWS.
Any pics of your new Outlander?
