^ I've been lookin at pics of GT's with just cobra front bumpers and fr500s and they all look sick. I can put that $500 towards somethin else. I originally wanted an obnoxiously big cowl hood lol, but a big hood with nothing under the hood = whole lotta ball busting my way lol. Also on my list are some clear sidemarkers.

well 500 plus paint. the paint's just not worth it unless you realllly want the cowl or if you need it for clearance.

Yeahh for sure lol. And there's not really any great paint places by me. I definately want a cobra front bumper, and I need to (have to) get my side skirts re sprayed as well as the rear bumper and I'm getting the rear lower valence (faded plastic crap) painted to match aswell as the side mirrors. Can't wait for the spring to come, oh and some $$ lol.

Gonna get the silver fr500s instead. 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 out back. So hyped that I can get the continental dws's in these sizes.

you should ditch the headlight covers and get some actual smoked/black housed headlights. it'd look a lot better imo

^Gotta agree with the Belberius here my man. Get some smoked headlights and I think you'll be more satisfied with them, while also being able to see better at night!

I'm with the both of ya, I was like a little kid in the candy store when I first got the car. (still am haha) And had some $$ to blow so bought the light covers. I'd rather get the smoked headlights and not use the covers anymore so I agree with the both of you. I forgot the website I was looking at that sells the black beauty headlights, I think those with some HID's would look killer. My headlights don't really light anything up with the covers off, let alone on lmao.

Changed my mind on wheels for the last time.
I want 18x9 and 18x10 silver FR500s. Front tire size - 255/45/18 -- Rear Tire Size - 295/35/18 - Should look sick and eventually I'll lower it a little bit.
