New kit and hood. What to do now?
Ok I don't have it on yet, but I got an r34 Octane kit and a Monster CF hood. Out of all the kits for the 7th gen, I just thought the r34 was one of the cleaner yet still aggresive ones. I currently have the fp kit on (or so I'm told). I have a white 2002 with cleared headlights, leather interior. I was thinking about doing eyelids. I've got some already, but I don't know how it's going to look with the CF hood on. I was thinking maybe CF eyelids. I was also thinking about blacking out the headlights. Problem with that is that I used a pretty good dosage of sealant when I cleared them and put them back together. I may need to find another set of headlamps. Don't really want to go with black housed projectors. I have white rims also. Just not sure how this is all going to go together. Ideas?

Other stuff is cool though.

Its pretty damn bad up here in New England too and we still have plenty of dropped cars here. It doesn't mean you have to slam it 2.5". Just reduce that wheel gap. A nice set of either Eibach's or H&R Springs will do you good. If struts become a problem, grab yourself a set of Tokicos HP.
Well I think I'll just hang on to my 17"s anyway. I like them just fine. I didn't go out and buy 17s just to turn around and buy 18s. I may think about the Eibach's though. I could use a lil' bit o' droppage. Thanks for the ideas.
