a few different questions

[moonpie_murders]

i've almost got all the parts for my 92' 325i but the ones that i don't have, i need some help on.

1: are one piece headlights good? i don't really care for the ones that i have and came across one piece. any problems with fitting or anything? also, my car is going to be alpine white. white trim as well. i already have black kidneys and was curious what everyone thought of the black background lights. it's got chrome looking ones right now and i don't like it at all. same with the grille. no offense to people that use chrome, but i can't stand it.

2: i just got in my H&R coilovers and was curious about strut tower bars. i don't know what size to get. i'm not going to be perfessionally racing this or anything. but here in arkansas, we do have some majorly curvy roads. there's a possibility of me taking these at a semi-excessive rate of speed. i don't know which ones would be good. any opinions on that would be very helpful.

3: hood pins......rice? my hood latch is completely out of adjustment and i got a new hood anyways. i have this fear of the hood comming up on me every since it happened to me in my rx-7. that's not a pleasant experience. i was planning on using tasteful hood pins but was just curious if people thought this was too rice. it's still up in the air whether i'll get them or not.

i think that's all for right now. any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks!!

Paint the chrome white.

Strut Bar: Rogue Engineering RACEBRACE Reinforcement: . . . Rogue Engineering . . .

Hood Pins - rice unless you have a lightweight hood and plan to regularly drive 150+ mph

that's not a bad price at all on that brace. and yes, it will be a lightened hood. not definite on whether it will be carbon fiber or not. but since i need a new hood anyways, i'm going to take the opportunity to get a lighter one.

i didn't think about painting it.
