So in lieu of my recent minor fender bender, I have the opportunity to install some things I've been thinking about.

Currently Installed: 8k HIDs, blacked out LED tail lights, LED interior, Cmod grill, 20" rims.

Things in consideration:
1. BC Racing BR Type Coilover System. Only because I'm told coilovers, in the long run, are better for your car than springs. And I'm not tryin to hug the floor. 1/2" - 1". Subtleties make all the difference.
2. Red calipers. The stock one's don't look right with my rims.
3. I need another Cmod. Not even a week after I put it on, I bust it. D;
4. Since I need to replace the hood. I've never seen a carbon fiber one. I don't know if one even exists. If so, can something post a picture?
5. mikethemike's LED foglights or Dangeris Lumens. I'm really feeling those, plus my fogs are still stock. If anything I'll get 6k HIDs.

So, NICO community, what do you think? Right now I'm just about the exterior aesthetics. I'm too much of a car noob to go any deeper. I turned my car in to start the disassembly. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction for the best deals. I live in socal so feel free to contact me if I can take anything off your hands. Thanks in advance. And here's some picture's for reference. ('Cause a post on NICO isn't a real post without pics of your whip. Amirite?) :dblthumb:

Here's a picture of the damage. :tisk:

Here's an old picture with the stock tails. There's more detail in the rims that you can't see in this picture.

Thanks again!

Your busted bumper reminds me of a whale shark, for some damn reason. http://www.whale-shark.org/images/whaleshark8.jpg

As far as the BC Racing Coils go... there are issues with them. The ride quality really goes down. I'm sorry to say that I miss my stock shocks.

I would suggest reading through the threads on the Suspension forum. There are two main threads on the front page of that category, including my post with photos of some of the issues here: comprehensive-bc-coilover-thread-all-is ... 18-30.html

If you're gonna drop at least a grand on coilovers, I would consider other options.
