Finally...some pics of my car...
First off, I have NO idea what I'm doing with a camera. Second, props to Josh @ Excelerate for hooking me up with my parts and helping me install them 
.
That said, here is my work-in-progress...
Now, I'm sure some of you will say that my blue lugnuts/valve stems look a little ricey, but the reason I got them in blue is because:
Current mods on my 2006 ASM/Ebony/6MT/Navi:
Comptech Icebox/Header/Exhaust
RT Cat
Comptech RSB
Comptech Short Shifter
Cusco FSTB
Tein SS
Ingalls RCK
2006 JDM Headlights
PIAA H1 Xtreme White bulbs
PIAA H11 Plasma Ion Yellow fog bulbs
Mugen grille
Advan Kreuzer Xi (18 x 7.5, +45)
Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S (225/40/18)
Rays lugnuts (anodized blue)
Rays valve stems (anodized blue)
custom powdercoated valve cover (anodized blue)
Vision CF sparkplug cover
Spoon resevoir socks
JDM dipstick
Comptech oil cap
MOMO Raceair shift knob
Supercomputer pedals (no-logo)
Full interior/license plate LED conversion (white)
35% tints all around
Valentine 1 (hardwired)
Future mods:
- Buddy Club voltage stabilizer/grounding kit (coming this weekend)
- Supercharger (Red Shift or Comptech - still going back and forth on this)
- BBK
- Full stereo overhaul
- Euro-R lip kit (still debating if I want to deal with the potential scraping issues)
. That said, here is my work-in-progress...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
Not sure what you mean by "sticks out". The 06/07 Mugen grille has absolutely perfect fitment.
18 x 7.5, +45 offset
Yeah, I hear you about the two shades of blue. I bought the lugnuts/valve stems sight unseen, but since the color was called "anodized blue", I thought they'd be a little darker than they are.
However, I personally like the "silver on blue" exterior contrast. I think it's very subtle and I really like how they turned out. I think they'll look even better when/if I install a BBK with blue calipers (possibly the sky blue Rotora kit) ...

beautiful, love the blue lugs and silver theme.
My car is going to look VERY similar in 4 weeks!
Your car looks amazing even with out any lip kit.
I am probably going to pass on the lip kit in favor of lowering the car a bit more.

I'm just wondering though, did you make some changes on the car b/c it looked like this just last week:

...Btw, you do realize that you're making fun of your own work, right

When I add a S/C and actually make the car fast, then maybe I'll add one
