Nope, I like the chrome ones (black housing is really nice too), everyone has the black housings so it's nice to be different.

I got the car a month ago. I'm hoping to have the hood completely painted or replaced in a few months.

I know right, I was watching the thread forever and hoped they'd be available when I had the cash. They really are mint and the tires are great.

I wish I could have kept these when I bought Evan's hatch. Such a killer deal, I just didn't have the cash after buying the hatchback. That and I want/need to do something a little different that Evan's setup.

Thanks guys! More to come, I can't decide what to do with the hood.

I want to either paint the whole thing SSBP, get an OEM hood, or get another CF hood and keep it all CF. I also either want to get an OEM front lip, or get a Spoon lip.

Nice looking car man. The wheels look really good on that blue. What exhaust are you running? looks real good on the 98-01 bumper.

Not sure what it is, it's a Greddy with no resonator. Way too loud for my tastes, trading for a apexi WS2 soon.
