First pics of my ride... ever

Heres my ride for the first time... i hope these pics work, never posted pics on here before. I need a little advice as to where to go next... ive got some money on my hands and have had for a while, im thinkin either a oem carbon hood or the invader carbon hood, oem spoiler, and im not sure what to do about the taillights, i know you guys hate aftermarket taillights around here, and im starting to like them less and less myself. should i A. tint the aftermarket ones i have now, B. keep it as it is, C. put the 04's back on and possibly tint those, or D. get the 01-03 tails and tint those. the reason im thinkin the 01-03's is because i like the way they illuminate much better than the 04's. i like the "C's" on the 01-03's... also, sorry in advance for crappy pictures, random digi cam i had around and not the best lighting, i just finished washing it and figured i might as well

very nice, i never seen an 04+ with eyelids, thats pretty PIMP. i like everything but the tails. the tails arent horrible. but i like the 04+ tails better. i would tint them. if you wanted to tint tails i would do the altezzas you got on now. or pick up a set of 01-03s, but the 01-03 arent as bright. so yeah. other than that its PIMP.

your car looks good right now...i'd say tint the altezzas you have since they're already in. also, your eyelids, are they vinyl or what?

nope, not vinyl, they are abs plastic. 01-03 eyelids, didnt fit perfectly, but with the adhesive pads i was able to stick them on, they are bending to fit on the 04 headlights, but the adhesive keeps em bent correctly. yea i guess ill try tinting the taillights i have now, that could look alright, if i dont like it i could always go back. also, anyone with input on the hood? OEM cf or invader cf?

aight ya i might sell you my 04 tails, lemme tint these and see how that looks first... a few other opinions are much needed... how bout the 04 projectors (the ebay ones), i think i may get a pair of those soon and move the eyelids onto those. also eventually i may get the r34 body kit? not sure bout that one, but its a possibility... thanks for the compliments guys... glad to see ive inspired.

havent seen an 04 with projectors. couldnt give my input on that, but i would get a lip kit over body kit.. go body kit if you want the show look. lip kit is def more of the clean look.
