Well, I'd probably get suspension first if I were you. The CF hood will look cool and shave a few pounds, but it's not going to be as useful as HIDs or suspension.

If you live in a more backwoods area, I'd say HIDs. If you live in a city type area, where light isn't a problem, go suspension.

I saw a silver civic with an orange hood yesterday. He was dropped & had large, shiny 17s.

His girl was staring at my car the WHOLE time they passed by, but I couldn't get my camera in time. I was laughing too hard at the orange hood.

Carbon hoods look ugly.............if you don't have suspension, I'd go that route first, and then get the HID. I like the weight savings of a CF hood, but unless it is color matched to the car I think it looks like a replacement hood from the junkyard.

Get suspension, then look at getting that other stuff later on. I dont know how far you've gotten on your car (parts wise) but suspension if you have rims already and HID I think would be next then the CF hood
