yeah, he recommended if I was staying with all WHITE, go with the BULBS...But if I was going with color, go with panels. (Panels would have been $132.99 Same pkg item count) So I wanted all WHITE light making the practical daily use and function of the lighting clean and crisp lighting upgrade to OEM and not a Fast & Furious Ricer Disco LOL!

Wow...nice progress, man...you've gone coocoo for carbon fiber! I will admit, though...I'm over wrap but the ACTUAL CF is pretty p i m p!
J.
About the LED's...they look good. I will say that the boards I put in are very white and VERY bright...I get compliments on them all the time...something along the lines of looking like daylight coming from my car.

I also love the lighting upgrades. Mine are not as bright as u seem to describe but I definitely understand when u say day light lighting... Mine are not intense or shockingly bright but such a nice crisp white light is given for viewing inside the vehicle or reading. So much better on the eyes. The wifey loves it also when touching up her make up ...LOL!

...as for wrap. I also fought with myself to GO REAL or GO HOME!!! But the wrap material really looks fresh too. I honestly just ended up getting LUCKY getting the real deal at amazing prices! I couldn't be more happier because the car looks so dam dope! It has truely come together without any real plans making it all match as a carbon grey and black theme...

Damn son! Looks dope! I know pics don't do the detailed mods justice. The CF gauge and dome are sweet. You are a first with the gauge though. Hood looks pimp as can be!
Hit me up if you want anything else. What would look sick as hell though would
Be a red or blue carbon kevlar engine cover and your radiator cover done in 2x2 dark carbon to match the hood. Just a suggestion.

Idk what I want to do but I do know I want to do something with my engine covers besides just painting. But right now I am consentrating on refinishing the cf hood with a wet glossy coat of clear and NEXT: Coilovers

lol I didn't want to be a dick but I'm not really too crazy about the CF hood. Props for being one of the few unique members who can say they are sporting a authentic CF hood but I'm not really feeling it. IDK why. Perhaps because it kind of looks yellowish, but maybe it's the picture.
Either way, I'm just not really crazy about it. Maybe on a WDP pearl it would look really nice, but it's not something I would consider for my NBP.
On another note, your drivers side headlight is really condensing!

And tell you the truth... I know exactly what u mean. I am loving it on the int pcs but IDK about the hood myself. Even from a far where it looks tits, I still have reservations about the entire flow and styling. Not to mention, its costing way too much and not worth repairing or reclearing. But I must say, when that sun hits it and it throws that reflective 3d silk appearance, its SEXY AZ FAWK!

I totally concur...I, too, have a dash of dickiness in me, so to speak Just thought it was funny...reminded me of someone posting up a picture of their girl like "ain't she hot" you saying...wow...she's wearing cool socks. Ha ha...
I agree, I am not a big fan of it. The interior pieces are cool, but the hood isn't my style.
Great overall progress on the car though Jay...
AND YOUR PICTURE TAKING ABILITIES!

Yeah, the hood is coming off soon this week. I am feeling the same way. Its just, "Ehhhh Cool" or "Ah Ha I got one" effect and that's all it does for me. I will stay with my main theme of Euro-ish Sport Sedan.

Anyways, I will be pulling the trigger on the TEIN STREET BASIS coilovers tonight with HTA (HeelToeAutomotive) BEST PRICE ANYWHERE with the disc. code!

I agree...honestly, I LOVE how the car looks dumped on the ground. But even at the height I'm at with the TEINS, I've had issues with the angles of the oem axles originally and extra stress on bushings and alignment difficulties. Plus, scraping here and there when entering driveways or hitting potholes...there comes a point where there's an inverse relationship between how low a car is and how cool it looks vs how enjoyable it is to drive.
...and I LOVE to drive.
