MDS2KAP1... I really like the contrast of the gold wheels against the dark silver paint, and the hardtop makes it flow nicely, but I think that between the red lugs, adn the CF front lip the look is broken up a little bit. I think that your car would look 1,000 times cleaner if you would paint your front lip. 
I think that a small drop would finish it off nicely also (a 1" drop won't kill you as much as you think with road clearance). For now, I am going to have to deny it, but I think if you paint your front lip it will pass.

I am saving up for Coilovers, but might get some springs to kill the wheel gap until then.
Thanks for the comments! What color should I powdercoat the lugs? I have a good place that I use at my work that could do them.

Astig2k... your car looks simple and clean overall. I like how you went with black lugs along with the emblems to match the car, and the car has a nice stance to it. The only thing that I don't get is the JDM sidemarkers with the AP1 headlights. I would go with some JDM diffusers for the headlights or put back the amber sidemarkers (saying that makes me cringe, I hate amber ). Overall, its clean, approved.

NFRAP1... You are on the right path to having a clean car. I think that once you paint that wing and ditch the blue lugs (maybe red would look better against NFR, but I prefer black) then you will have a clean car. Post up some more pics after you get that wing painted.

I had black lugs, but they were extended and stuck out too far on the TE37s.I got blue because the volk/rays stickers are blue and the anodized valve stems are blue.but yea, maybe short black lugs would look better...I like the blue though.
Once I get the Seibon MG hood I will get it painted along with the wing.
Thanks!
