Need input

ok everyone the body of my car is almost done, now the question is before i paint it is there anything you guys would like me to do to the car before i paint it any suggestions that arnt like 100$ stuff? i wanted eyebrows but no one told me how to get them. but anything else you guys know of.
heres a list of all the things i did to the body:
shaved all the symbols
shaved all the moldings
removed the top grill on the hood
wings west lip (probably going to get molded on before painting)
combat kit sideskirts (molded on)

anything else you guys can think of im getting the car painted on wensday so please try to hurry with opinions. (and i still am wondering about the eyebrows so please if you have information about it tell me)

there eyesbrows are on rmstomico car as seen in this pic.

instead of copying me do something original, like maybe the skyline lights on a cl, that would be sweet

thats funny that you say that seeing as you have or had the same sideskirts as everyone else. so maybe instead of copying people why dont you try somthing else? (plus youd think youd be flaterd seeing as other people want somthing that you have on your car cause it looks good in some peoples minds) and buy the way i was going to do a tail light conversion with lexus is lights but i decided not to for a couple of reasons our tail lights look good the way they are and lexus takes to long to get things.

i sold the type w side skirts because everyone has them! and thats the attitude you give me for telling you how i made my eyebrows!?! your lucky, i dont give away trade secrets much because it gives me an edge at shows. hell, they are my ideas! but i did and you come back and scream at me. you are a meany!

heres my opinion i always wonder why when i say somthing, or ask for an opinion people talk shit, ya know i like this forum and i have respect for most of the people i see stock cars and i think there fine i never say bad shit about peoples cars enless people are talking shit i mean, i did the grill im one of the only people to do it and it looks nice in my opinion. it draws attention and theres people on this forum who act messed up like one guy was like if you want to be unique why are you putting altezzas, i thought in my mind (how is it not unique to have accord altezzas on a cl) seeings as i see that alot i figure that is unique. and im not trying to rip off your idea im intrested in one thing the outcome of the car and im going to do what makes it look best. (speedauracl) probably agrees seeing as he copied someone else and everyone copyed the guy to by using the same sideskirts but no one cares that people did that they care if i ask you how you did somthing so i can try to do it. either way thanks for your guys opinions. if you got the money to keep changing your car then go for it.

Hood scoops, need some good looking hood scoops. Not a high rise but a recessed vent type thing.

And custom fit some Z3 front fenders to the car, that would look good.

thats a good one; maybe a hood scoop like the Z28's someone has a post with a photoshop of that. The body kit on that photoshop if fuggly but the hood scoop didn't look bad at all i dont think.
