i think they look good. not ricey at all. what i'd be worried about is the huge cowl extractor and large front fascia.

where did u get them?

The HID's or LED's? I got the HID's on ebay, and the LED's at... Um, walmart....

I've had plenty of people complain about my bumper... never about my hood though, you're the first one . I like it though, so whatever. the bumper looks alot better with the 5inch fog lights in it. I get positive comments everyday about my car.

I need to convert the fogs to HID so they will match the headlights, they almost look brown at night compared to the headlights. I haven't been stopped for them yet and they've been there since the beginning of summer, I was thinking about getting blue lights for the running/blinkers... but I don't know if that is illegal or not.

Yes any blue light on the outside is technically illegal. Whether or not you get stopped for it is another story.

It just recently got put on the Ultimate hood sticky. The owner before me did all the body kit mods. the hoods made by Harwood i think. I don't think my car takes pictures very well, it looks alot better in person also...

Not a fan of anything, tbh...the bumper, the hood, the lights...it all adds up to make a ricer's wet dream IMO.

Alright. Well I know that I'm not a ricer so whatever, and I've seen some cars on this forum with MUCH bigger hoods than what I have. I know there's always gonna be someone bitchin' about my car, but it's mine. I like it how it is.

The HIDs are 6k

Yeah the wing and bumper went all to hell when I parked under a tree at work, cracked the fiberglass and everything It rained to much before I realized how bad it was and had already separated from the trunk. so I just went back stock on the rear and bought a s281 wing from SpecialCarbonFiber on ebay. Very nice quality. and only cost me 130 bucks. I'm going to start a build thread soon. I bought some new goodies for her.

Looks really good man, makes me want to redo my foglights that just burned up.

vvme quality..

Those fog lights that I have weren't cheap either. I think I paid $100 for them they have a blue LED ring "halo" or whatever.

I paid $65 for mine, also on Ebay. I can't find the exact ones, I got the 35W HIDs instead of the 55W bulbs because I was told they get too hot for plastic headlights and I didn't want to melt the headlights, so I played it safe. I bought them from tuningpros on ebay. I think I'm going to go with the 55W kit for the fogs since they are glass and have no plastic that might melt.

So far the HIDs are 10X better than the 4300 Sylvia sliver-stars I had before. I couldn't see but 25ft in front of me on high beams with them. Lets just say my foglights went twice as far as the high beams did. lol
