Congrats on the sponsorship, that sounds awesome.. if you don't mind me asking, who's it from? Well for my opinions... I would definitely go with the diffuser kit, it's more original since everyone and their mother has a jdm bumper. Personally I don't really like the look of CF hoods, but thats just me so I would stay away from that, I think it'll be a little overkill with all the CF parts that you already have on the way. I would also definitely get it lowered, do you still have the stock wheels? If you do you may want to do a powercoating or painting job on it, most likely a time attack style, black wheel + red lip... and you can black out your headlights yourself, its a little time consuming, it took me 7 hours but it was because I let it dry for so long, but at least you'll save some money and they will definitely come out looking sexy . But it looks like your car will look pretty bad ***, congrats again and good luck!

I have an idea. How about you mod your car for YOU, not everyone else. If nobody ever thought outside the box, then the entire spo-com world wouldn't be where it si today. Just my $.02.

car sounds like its going to look HOT. And as for the CF Trunk being to flashy.
I thought most people on here got a CF Trunk to take the flashiness away from the whole car itself. Eliminate the wing ya know? That wing just loves to draw cops in. I'd get a CF trunk. EVODAVE cf trunk FTW!

Later

Personally, I wouldn't waste your money on a CF hood and trunk. From my understanding: adding both of these to your car only saves 1lb. The stock hood and trunk is light as it is, why spend $2k for 1lb, when you can go out running for an hour and get the same results.

Go with blacked headlights.

Well personally its a matter of balance. When I see a car with all exterior mods, and has no suspension,brake,power mods to go with it, then I tend to think its a showcar. If thats the case then thats fine, but just letting you know how other people will perceive the car, since that's what you are asking with this post. Good luck

congrats on the sponsorship... the whole red, white and black scheme sounds like it would look pretty nice (never seen that scheme in person) i think it'll look alright though

but shouldn't you be asking the people that sponsored you... being that you are going to represent them

well...sponsorships like your car to be seen and flashy, so making the car mostly Carbon Fiber is something people will go "holy **** come look at this one!" I know I would, so I'm putting my vote on the CF trunk...and while your at it, make the wing CF too...and get a CF Vortex Generator

Thanks for everyone's feedback including the people who
miss understand my notions of asking people their opinions.
The group sponsoring the car is an overseas rim company
who are looking to make a name for themselves in the US.
I have no idea why they want me choosing what the car
gets (although with motorcycle racing sponsorship this was
always the case) but regardless I have ~2k to put into exterior
mods (+ a set of their rims.) Even if anyone feels this would
make the car “unbalanced” (performance doesn’t live up the
look) I don’t think anyone would say no to the deal for that
reason. The car is supposedly going to be put into two
magazines as well. I just fear getting all the parts here and
deciding that the car looks like it’s in the midst of getting a paint
job lol. Lastly, I think most c/f hoods are a pound or two heavier
than the stock ones lol, but I not only enjoy their look,
but I am also trying to please the sponsor. Keep the opinions coming please!

And like I said, I plan on keeping the stock wing and lowering the car.

I am pretty sure at this point that the car will have two sets of wheels. white (picture a te37 like rim) and a set in black (picture sti rims).

mr suave you should chime in because you are going to have to look at the car during the Sunday night meets in phili lol
