So..the outside of my car is absolute crap. Dings, dents, scrapes, oxidzing/flaking clear coat, you name it, its on my car. The plan is to buy some dress up parts and the new OEM parts I need to get it back in decent condition by next summer.

Paint - Black Currant total repaint or 2 tone it - Black from bottom of windows up, Black Currant below that w/ a small pin stripe. Still undecided.

I plan on 35% tint. Still undecided on a front lip b/c of the '02 bumper, had a mugen once, it looked good but sat too low. I sorta want a CF one.

think about it again. CF lip? what if you accidentally hit a pothole? :eek:

The OEM paint already sorta changes colors from bright purple, to darker, to almost black.

As far as the lip, it'll be fine.

Just repaint your car the same color and get a carbon fiber mugen lip, CF hood and CF eyelids. That'll look pimp. ;)

Oh yeah............ 20% tint FTW!

*cough* Carlisle *cough*

Eyelids just don't look right to me on darker cars, so good job with deciding not to get them.
