Lasty, I would not change the color of the wheels to black....ghey....match-paint the wheels to the color of your car to subdue the shine a little bit. That would be hot!!!!!!! Oh yeah, do a cf CSL styled trunch to complete the look, keep it black or cf on top, then exactly at the edge of the spoiler lipp, all painted from there down...
thank you e90stance for your feedback as the more feedback i am getting, is the clearer vision I am getting about what i should with my car.

the current hood is cf but unfortunately it is not a shiny cf as i thought and it looks in the pic as a matt black so i am half way there
not sure tho of keeping it or not (one day i think, oh it looks hot and another day it is not) but I still feel there is something needed to be done to make the car unique rather than wired.
in regard the wheels, my car color is silver and the wheels are almost the same color, not really but it is silver as well so do you think i should get them matt silver? do you have any pic/link that i should follow? I am not sure of how to get them the same color?
for csl spilter, yes I agree the car will look more aggressive with it.
My plan is
1-10 mm spacers.
2- Maybe cutting the front springs or replacing my front springs (the current ones are eibach but did not do much of dropping as I hoped)
3- see what the car looks like to decide whether I should keep the hood or not.
4- Deciding on the color of the wheels
5- splitter if there is some room for it after the second drop.
6- i am still happy with everyones feedbacks/ advice and this plan is not fixed yet
