New to the show scene...need HELP/ADVICE!

Hey,

So this year I am going to make a ATTEMPT to enter the show scene. I've been to like 1 real show before so I'm leaping in kinda "blind."

I should have the brabus bodykit installed by next week and am looking to do another major mod. I think it's going to be between

1.) H & R Coilovers and C32 Brakes

or

2.) Bi-Xenons, Clear Fogs, and W211 mirror blinkers

I guess I'd want to do the mod that would score better in a show. My personal opinion is that most people don't realize what a major mod the bi-xenons are. When I ask my friends that mod their Acuras, Infinitis, etc. they don't realize how much they cost and what a drastic different it makes in the overall appearance of the coupe...

any opinions?

Thats a tough one. But I Will say the Bi xenons on the coupe are stunning and a MAJOR improvement. Go for that definitely if you are going for show.

I think thta the lights would make a diffrence but to the avg person the lights are something stock if you did lower the car it makes a big diffrence and to people that know about cars you can tell when a car has been lowered
