I dont plan on dropping the car in the near future. maybe sometime down the road when i have more disposable income.... im sure installation costs are pretty high for springs

I believe adding spacers actually reduces the look of the gap.

On a slightly more serious note:

Has anyone ever used (or seen) the space between the hood ridges as a "racing stripe"??? You know like basically filled the space between ridges......if I get a nice weekend I thought about using Plasti-Dip to see how it would look. Also ordered the Plasti-Dip glossifer, hopefully that comes soon.

I personally like the 40th anniversary gunmetal wheels with carbon fiber fags and diffuser.
Black wheels hide wheel diameter and detail IMHO
