But if you buy a set I'll be spending a portion of the price on race car parts, so indirectly, it will be the same effect!

I agree though that I'd rather spend money on go fast parts or functional supporting mods than purely visual ones. I'd like a carbon hood for example, but only to cut it up and put functional vents in it. That said, I will make me some retro headlights this summer. Which is funny since I never ever drive the car in the dark lol But it is going to have some awesome DRL switchbacks!
Taillight wise I've been running stock tails for about a year now; Every time I finish building myself a nice set, I end up selling it haha

I think I'm pretty well balanced tho, I have the looks down on the car, but I also have the supporting mods to add more power whenever so im happy

I agree ! (: crazy how much of a "Christmas" it is sometimes getting hit. My friends grandpa backed into his 96 camaro. Cracked the paint on the door about 10 inches or so. Insurance company gave him 2k when the car was worth just over that. 😅
