i say lower it and get some rims. That will make it look nice. Id stay away from body kits. If anything you could convert it to a 99 front bumper, which imo looks better. But thats about as far as id go with the body

i'm thinkin about buying 4 actuators and connect them to hood pins..remove all the hinges and then have all 4 actuators move up and down at the same time kinda as a little show effect......if i didnt explain that well enough lemme know..but from what i'm thinkin it shouldnt be too hard....hard part is..getting them all to go up and down at the same time

I bouth my oem cf hood off Ebay and it fit great and kept its shine for 2 years (better than the car did). so i'd go w/ ebay again. i'd definatly go w/ a 2gb conversion. i love that lil pillar thing that goes from the left up and over to the right underneath the top!! i think those thigns look awesom. also, i've always wondered what a 2g turbo spoiler would like like on a spyder. . . i think it'd be one of those make or break things. then lower, rims, tint windows and you'll be sportin
