Oh, and lowering it is in the future as well. I know some of you suggested that.

Haha. Nice, right? But I don't live in the suburbs. I live on a farm, down a one lane dirt road way back in the sticks. It's tragic for keeping a clean car.

hood does look out of place without the 06-08 bumper and headlights.

The first thing you should have done was get some new rims

either keep the stock wheels or put 30mm spacers on the rear and 25 on the front and it will look good. Im a fan of that spoiler. Looking good bro

To those that say the hood doesn't look good or looks out of place...i'm curious why you think this? I can barely tell from the pics that the hood is different and had the OP not mentioned it I probably wouldn't have noticed. I mean no disrespect but am curious why his car looks out of place compared to a regular 07 or 08 with this hood.

Your car is the one with the DC sports headers right? (just messing with you about the sticker

)

Way to plan and execute your mods. Can control the bug a lot better that way. Will look great once the wheels and coilovers are on.

Next years budget includes wheels, and exhaust.

u coulda spent da $ u spent on these for a decent set of wheels. those 17s look horrible imo. nothing worse than a z w/ all dat exterior mods n stock 17s lol just my opinion. did u have to repaint da hood to match da rest of da car? anyway it dont look bad,...good luck!

No flaming, Prooooomise, just an observation/question- I have always heard with regards to exhaust, start from the back and work your way forward. I just wasn't thinking that headers would make much if any difference on a stock exhaust system?

If im wrong, more power to you, if Im right, at least you have one of the harder mod's out of the way!!!
