put gt300 hood on but still missing something??

I just put on a gt300 hood from chaser amd i love it. The car looks better with the hood but now i feel like its unbalanced and missing something. i dont know what else to do, im not a huge fan of wings and dont really want to got he body kit route. I need to figure something out before i can get it painted. I even wet the car to get a somewhat painted look and still it was ehh.
So my question is what do u think is missing??

possibly a lip sounds like a good idea, trying not to do the body kit tho.

I love where you're going with the car. I'm a big fan of stock bodies with hoods and lips.

I recommend a subtle lip.

I second the little one at the top of the hatch, they look good and set the back of the car off nicely

Lip, tint, some different mirrors(something like amemiya), and a nice paint job. All it needs.

I'm also going to be running this hood, but I will be wanting to run wider fenders from Mazdatrix.

you need more aggressive wheels, wide fenders, a lip, diffuser, and maybe mirrors.

A lip and tints would go a long way. If after that, you feel like your car looks a bit "front heavy" and you don't like body kits and wide fenders, you might consider a shine auto rear diffuser.

Not feelin the half bumper but im def going to get the lip. S5 mirrors are pretty much a necessity after ive seen how they look, lol. The Rear diffuser im a little sketchy only because of where i live the potholes and awkward bumps are everywhere and i would break it. The car goes lower but the exhaust starts to scrape at another inch or so, so im gonna leave it how it is until i get a Pan under the car. Sadly i think i found out what the problem is, the wheels. I just dont have the $$ to get the wheels i want.

The wheels will make all the difference.. Just rock what you have now while you save up for some good quality ones.

i Have considered some kits but for what i want it seems impracticle. Too many shitty roads around here and although im fine with body damage im sure it would turn into a headache after a couple months. Maybe i will reconsider in the future but for now i wanna see what this car can look like with few body mods.
