Get the fogs while you still can! (They're going extinct!)

Yeah I think its more of a toss up between the V-AFC and the fogs. You can see my mods by clicking the link in my sig. I'd mainly want the V-AFC to lean out my a/f mix at WOT so my exhaust and rear bumper aren't dirty all the time. I paid a dude for some used JDM fogs but after I sent the check I haven't heard from him, UGH! Some people...

yeah, I agree...get the JDM Fogs fore they gone....it'll look tight. Get the VAFC later when you have more engine mods, and once you're done, get the CF hood.

if you already have at least i/h/e, i'd get the v-afc... if not, then i'd decide between the cf hood and the jdm fogs.. for 300 dollars, you can't exactly get a GOOD cf hood, so I'd say go for the fogs...

i've always done the go fast mods before looks. Sure some looks are ok, but it good to have speed to back up the looks. Ya know?

i can't agree more...but i've come to my own personal conclusion, that unless you have a few thousand to fork out for a turbo kit or a JRSC....you might as well spend that few extra bucks on some nice aesthetics...making your car look good is one thing....making your car look FAST is another .. i think

U have a decent amount of mods already, time to tune it w/the V-AFC to optimize the performance of the parts!
