Yeah, I think you should put the CF hood on it. I would change the rims though, but thats my opinion.

IMO leave the spoiler on and get the CF hood. powder coating your rims would make it better too.

looks good
if you want my opinion on what you should do
i would get rid of the spoiler
maybe powdercoat the rims a gunmetal if you dont want different rims
and get rid of that license plate in the window
and definitely get that carbon fiber hood

I'm not at all partial to the dark rims on any color car. I know its not any of your guys' style, but I love white rims on the EBP. Its not my car yet, I am working on selling my 94 EX then I have to fly to Texas to pick it up and drive it back up here. Best part of the car though....

Has the car been hit? He repainted his front bumper. Look at the side vents on the bumper. It's painted.

good eye!

i think you should get new wheels, and get the CF hood if you aint goin to get something better. CF hood is always good imo.

I'm having trouble seeing what you guys are talking about painted, you're saying he just painted his entire front bumper?

I have a question on color, that bumper thing doesnt matter to me because I'm putting on a W-Type body kit like this picture. Anyway, in this picture, is that the stock EBP color? It looks a lot brighter than the pics of the car I'm buying.

Those white wheels are GT8's, but i can't remember who makes them 5zigen maybe. That is the stock EBP color, but that color looks totally different becuase the sun is out as opposed to what seems to be a overcast day in the other pic. You should be able to sell those racing harts for a decent price....around 5-600. Good luck w/ the new purchase.

there are so many knock offs of those rims. I think those one in particular are katanas. i forget the name though....then theres konig tantrums, Motegi Mr7, blah blah....just saying those wheels are easy to find. depending on size and condition, and since those are the one piece m5, i would probably say 600-700 if the wheels are in great condition and theres lots of tread life left.
