this is OD, i'm using my boy Jason's account to answer the questions since mine is disabled for a week over some bull****...

the black lip wasn't my idea, and i was PISSED when i saw it. the bodyshop painted the entire bottom half of the rear bumper black instead of just the diffuser, and for some reason i still dont know, they painted the lip on the front bumper black too. i never once said anything about the color black and the front bumper. the only thing they were supposed to do on the front was fill in the license plate holes, and repaint the bumper...but they did that. i brought it back the next day and made them fix the rear bumper...it was on a friday though, and if they had to do the front and rear it would have been monday before i got the car back and i wanted my car so i said to just fix the rear and i'll cover the front with a lip...it made me realize that a cf lip wouldn't look too bad, cuz i had planned for no lip at all. right now i'm thinking about just buying a ralliart lip to cover it, or i may bring it back in and tell them to paint it right.

as for the hood, as soon as i have a day off i'm gonna see about swapping the stock hood mesh in place of that chrome stuff, i've already swapped over the rain guard.

when i have time to play with the hood, i'm gonna see about working on that trunk too.

somebody asked about drop: i've had buddy club racing spec coilovers on order for around a month or so...as soon as they come in, they'll be put on. there's one more mod that went on the day after i took these pics. the car now has an HKS carbon Ti exhaust as well.

next mod will have to be wheels and tires because my stock tires have maybe 4k left on them, and i'm not putting another set of tires on those stock wheels.
