Love it,especially the eyelids. I actually think the eyelids is what set your car apart, in a good way. Maybe a front emblem would look just a little better. Other then that its studdly.

Thanks for all the input everyone. The more I think upon it and look at my car, the more I feel I should just leave as is. I will probrably get some overlays next for the rear lights and maybe a very light overlay for the headlights.
As far as the license plate goes, I may give it a try without and see what happens.

<3 the eyelids. I personally would only have put them on black but they definitely don't look bad. I'm in a bone stock 3 day old silverstone, so I'm not one to judge ;-). I aggree with slapping another emblem on the front to interrupt the spacial monotony, but if a clean classy look was your aim, then leave it just the way it is. A quiet aggressive look offers much more than loud aggression. That's my 2 cents for the bank!

I've been there, is that near the mall by chance?

For everyone..What rear skirt or bumper should I get? What would go well with this kit? If I get the Nismo rears I would definitely get them molded into the rear bumper for a nice clean look. Any other ideas/suggestions?

Anderson Lane Body Shop did an excellent job, a little higher than average prices but you do pay for experience and quality.

, its very nismo as is with the bumper sideskirt and spoiler, might as well finish it off. as for molding the rears, its not really necessary if the costs of prohibitive, does look tight molded though. I love the V1 and Ings half rears alot. Not sure how those would flow with your nismo skirts.
