If you guys remember, I had a battery explode under my hood and the battery place is making a verdict on if I get any kind of compensation for this or not. If they do, I have quite a bit of money coming my way and I have some options for what I can do...obviously I need to replace everything that is damaged, but here is what I was thinking of doing on top of all the repairs
-Paint Center tail light section -Fix dent on passenger side fender and repaint
Should I??
1) Skip fixing the hood and use the money to help purchase a carbon fiber hood?? 2) Replace front bumper (that is all messed up) with a brand new one and have it painted?? 3) Go wingless, holes filled, and repainted??
Lemme know what you think
On a side note: I'm thinking about painting my calipers, should I go with 1) Red, 2) Black, 3) Paint match to car

Shave the damn antenna. I would have done when I got my paint done but I thought it was 100% necessary to have one there. But fuck I never even reconnected that shit and I get every station I used to.

I'm leaning towards the CF hood too, but the rims just isn't going to happen, I just spent $1200 on the rims I have. Hypersilver is going to have to be close enough to gunmetal for a few years.
Shaving the antenna isn't going to happen unless I lose the wing, I'm not going to get the hatch repainted just to get rid of the antenna.
The front bumper is warped from the Greddy FMIC not being trimmed before I got the car. Permanently warped, it pisses me off.
I think I'm prolly going to get the front fixed first rather than spend money to fix a hood that is perfectly fine.

Thanks! Minor changes have already, and need to be changed. My corners are now clear and new foglights, just haven't gotten any new pictures yet, I really want the center tail piece painted and matched to the car, professionally, part of the car is getting painted anyway, so why not. Only costing me like an extra $35 to get it done.
The front bumper needs to be replaced and retrimmed to fit the FMIC.
I'm also working on a possible sponsor, but that is a surprise.
