Don't waste your money, especially not on Seibon rubbish.. The fit and finish is fairly sub-standard, going off what people report on NASIOC after fitting Seibon parts.

Spend it on handling and speed. Peanuts look good already.
Your car will be seriously fast whilst retaining driveability with $4000 spent.
After that it is really the law of diminishing returns for a daily/street only car in my opinion.

But I subscribe to the sling over bling theory, just look at my avatar, seriously ugly Betty!

Indeed they do.

Wont be fun explaining to the police why there is a person impaled on the bonnet of the car.


in regards to the op

front lip+splitters+fog covers+18"wheels with some nice offset and you will have a very tasty peanut

its a very common combo but the right set of wheels can make all the difference

check out ultrex, good bits of kit for very little $$$

LOL but you get free Mesh grills :-D

Yeah spend it on Handling/Performance parts rather than cosmetics.. you will just be a target for the Popo otherwise.

in the event of an accident, the bonnet is designed to crumple, and absorb collision force, a carbon bonnet would just explode into a million peices. Last time I checked, that is included under the title of structural integrity.. (during a collision)
