I would do the CF hood and possible trunk, not sure if id go with the trunk,.. maybe if you like wings, get the CF hood and I have seen CF wings too, you could do that, I seen some that didnt look too bad (CF Wings). your car is tight!! could just leave it alone too [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i mainly want to compare the 2...the progress have a great drop, nice and even 2" but the ride is pretty bumpy and they have been creaking quite a bit lately at slower speeds. I had read that alot of people were happy about the goldlines so i wanted to try those out.

thanks about the car..i dont think ill go as far as the cf trunk, and if i get a cf spoiler the only one i like right now is the Kaminari one with the cf blade.

As for the grill, it comes that 'shiny black color' which is carbon fiber. I think painting the hood molding would look horrible imo.

Definitely get a carbon fiber hood...and the Karminari wing w/ the carbon fiber inserts would look hot! You're definitely headed in the right direction.

Leave the OEM kit & the stock tails. Looks much much cleaner.

I personally do not like the oem kit... I have the tsunami and it is sweet.
I am (slowly) working towards a carbon fiber look for most exterior components.

Future mods I recomend... ditch the red h, no tail lights, carbon fiber hood, and go with some good tie bars

my honest opinion the ride looks good. i agree with trever, ditch the red emblem. side skirts would be sweet, i have a incapearl to. i think you should deff tint very dark. mine looks sweet with the dark tint, and i think it would amplify your rims..

thanks everybody for the input....

im definitely getting a cf hood, and as for the tails, i am buying dereks old smoked oem ones from shibiku02 tomorrow, well see how they look.
tint now i realize would be a definite improvement and would emphasize the darker colors of the scheme, and as far as the red h in the front, i like it..kind of looked too plain to me without it.(can always be removed, though).. the back emblem, however, ill probably either change back to the OEM one or get maybe a cf or black one instead..

thanks again for all the comments and suggestions !

Get the plain carbon fiber hood, the carbon fiber front lip and trunk lid. It'll be sweet!

A CF emblem would look sweet. The hood too. Your scheme of CF and gunmetal is delicious. A kit would be beautiful but I would only do a wing if it wasn't very big. Your dark streamlined profile might not benifit from a big wing. I know I wish mine was shorter. I had the sidepieces made in CF and the wing painted to match though so it looks pretty good anyway.

How are aftermarket tail lights different than aftermarket head lights? I think darker tails or ones that match the scheme would actually look decent. The red stock ones dont really go with the colors that well.
