Need to know if im headed in the right direction....
i need some opinions on my car and also what i have listed for my future mods here.
im trying to get a black/carbon fiber scheme with the gold, any other ideas that would look decent without going overboard? thanks for any replies.

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.

my honest opinion[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]...well, personally, I would ditch the red honda emblem on the CF grill.....get some side skirts......tint the windows to match your black scheme........Def. no aftermarket tails......and then you'lll be aight......Don't go overboard.......
Your ride looks excellent!!!!!!!! I love it.....dig the projectors.....nice gu metal matches....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

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 !

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.
