So all you got so far is a CF hood and rims. How about adding some goodies under the hood, intake/header/exhaust???

Drop it before getting the CF trunk or a kit, lip or full replacement.

hmm.. leave appearance stock, build a low compression, high boost K20, have trans upgraded, new drive shafts, new fuel system, all associated electronics, good sticky tires on stock rims.. Make somthing that looks stock but actually has performance in it! What an idea that would be, eh?

Nah, what you should 'do to it' should be all up to you. What do you want out of the car? If you just wanna show off and look fancy, then wheels and lowering it will be the easiest and biggest thing to make it look 'cool'.

Tint helps most of the time too.
