Your opinion is surely exactly that and nothing more.
Why do you feel the need to insult others who's likes and aism are different from yours?
Go on, peck the albino hen to death why don't you?

because this kid is the same kind of kid that will come back and be like "ohhh man i broke my oil pan on a speed bump" or "audis have terrible suspensions my ride is **** (even though it was the 2IN drop and 20IN wheels that he put on there" im all for "Creativity" but lets be honest, theres nothing "creative" about slamming it to the grpund (probably with some cheap knock off coilovers cus the pss9s are too expensive) and throwing the biggest wheels you can that wont rub.... seen it, not art.

How is someone to learn without either teaching or gained knowledge through experience?
I would suggest contructive help is better than criticism?

To each their own. Instead of spending a lot of $$ on HID fogs, why not first try some "whiter" bulbs? Try either PIAA Super Pasmas, or Hoen Xenon Match H3 bulbs. They are a close match to the OEM headlights, and a lot less complicated to install than a HID setup.

As far as 20" wheels, as long as you know that you'll be adding more weight, less sidewall protection, and that is the look you are going for, sure. Just keep in mind that the ride will be awful, the wheels will probably bend easily (unless you splurge for forged wheels), and tires will be uber expensive. Of course you could skimp on tires and get a cheap model tire, but since tires are the only thing between your car and the road (handling and stopping), don't skimp on tires!!!

I notice a huge downgrade in ride quality when I go from my winter setup (17") to my summer setup (18"). I can only image how bad the ride would be on 20's!
