Motoboat's '05 Anthracite
Ok, so time to stop lurking and post some pics of my ride.
tint
new wheels (sorry about quality)
lowered
Its on H&R coilovers. I its a little bit lower than i wanted, but its only been a few hours so maybe it'll grow on me. Time for a good wash and wax. I go back and forth on the wheels too, sometimes I love em, sometimes ehh...but they arent getting changed anytime soon, so I gotta love em.
I've thought about clearing the headlights, but i want to keep some color other than gray all the way around. I feel it will be too boring. I guess im trying to keep it subtle.
After typing this I realize im pretty undicided about a lot of things on this car lol

Lol I think it looks great 
We're all wishy-washy about some things on our cars.
Personally, clearing or painting the headlights makes a world of difference. I loved mine, but then again my car is low contrast so painting the lights made it look even better
You could even leave the amber diffuser and paint the chrome instead?
Lots of things to think about and lots of ideas to gather here.

First, welcome to Acurazine.
Second, I really like the wheels and the drop. I know you felt like it was too low, but I think it looks excellent.

Took a couple more pics today, still learning this camera.
Tried my hand at carbon fiber wrap. Figured I would do something small out of the way. It came out ok, so much harder than I thought it would be. I learned a lot though. The other side has a few small cracks.
Caliper covers (one of my favorite mods)

Photos look great. TSW Nurburgrings are among my favorite wheels, and they look so good on AM.
I'm in love with the way your car sits! Now just finish off the rear A-Spec kit and you will be golden.

Its been a while since I posted an update. Raised her about 1/2 inch and added a-spec sides and rear. Finishing the kit realy rounds it out well, so if you are debgating whether or not...Just do it! I was skeptical at first but once I did it I loved it.
