yea at least get a oem style hood siebon has a better fit then vis and skunk 2 is kinda cheap did you do some research on them???.as for the trunk id say there's a 50/50 chance of a bad fit that will cause water to get in your trunk no carbon fiber piece will have a oem fit so its up to you.

Effort is made to keep it strictly technical outside the general discussion thread, otherwise there'd be a lot of "clutter." And ultimately it's your decision in itself as you should do whatever pleases you, not what others think.

Second time doing what? Bud, you need to understand that no matter how vague an opinion question gets... no one can tell you what you want from life. If you wanted a car that handled better, then you'd get the coilovers. If you wanted a car that looked pretty, you'd get the CF parts. It's as simple as making up your mind. Sadly, no one can do that for you, you've got to do it yourself.

Skunk2 Pro-S are garbage. I bought a set, cleaned them up, had them on my car for TWO days.

The immediately went back on craigslist.

True. But it's only because I'm impatient when waiting for threads that are actually technical. I like difficult questions referring to mechanics (chassis-relative, of course).
