Arrow tell me what to fix

ok so i have a list of things that need fixing and/or replacing on my car.


• Headlights need replacing
• Small door ding needs fixing
• Wing needs to be painted (is Evo silver right now)
• Wheels need painted (wheel caps don't match)
• Hood needs to be repaired (cracks and chips in carbon fiber)

I am working on fixing 2 computers right now, and i will have at least $100 to spend on my car to fix something. I can't really decide what i wanna fix first, so i want your input.

Please vote

1. Headlights - safety is job one.

2. All that other cosmetic stuff, in whatever order you choose.

If his lights are anything like mine, they've got this funky "cracking" appearence all throughout the housing. Not condenstion, not dirty, etc etc...just impections in the plastic coupled with the heat of the lamps for long trips I guess.

I too would like new lamps!

My left headlight is like that too! I thought I fudged it up when I baked it while painting the housing black. Do other people have this problem too?

Im definitly a safety person as well. Headlights come first and foremost. Then I would have to go with fixing the body stuff...is that wing on your car unpainted? If so, hop to it.
