What next? Looking for ideas...
I like what Ive done to my car but I feel like its missing something... I KNOW I need a better hood but dont have the money for that right now so besides that, what do you all think I should do? Any positive/negative feedback appreciated!!
(Also getting the front bumper repainted and headlights aligned properly due to previous wreck and shotty body work.)

fix your headlight!!!
past that...you need to break up the silver some...maybe a red pinstripe on the inner lip of the wheels....something
Maybe some 3.5" or 4" quad tips?
You could get some smoked side markers.
Since you did the CETA...a front lip spoiler would look good, but to each his own on those
in the last pic there looks like a dent on the driver side where the front bumper meets the fender...could just be the pic
chrome windsheild wipers!!! those are always a hit!!! hahaha
I'm with you though...a hood is all that's really needed, otherwise the exterior looks good. Either move towards interior or engine bay

I agree on breaking up the silver. Imo the rims look great the way they are; but I would look into painting your sail panel and mirrors black. Once you get your hood it will look mean and clean.

Ive thought about painting the sail panel black but idk about the mirrors. Im not too sure where to take it to get the headlights adjusted too. Ive tried to adjust them an theyre better than they were but not perfect. The hoods aftermarket too so im not sure if that has anything to do with it.

if you paint the sail panel...then the mirrors will look odd because you won't have a smooth black line...paint the mirrors and it all blends nicely...my thing is I wouldn't paint either! I think it looks better like that

Yea Im not gonna paint the mirrors but the sail panel maybe if it ever starts bubblin up. Ive thought about the 3.5" Corsa clones as well and will probably do that. I just havnt yet because Ill need a new catback once I get headers so I think itd be worth more all origanl and noncut.
Also on the corners being smoked, do you all mean the side marker lights or the DRLs/Turns? Ive though about getting clear side markers as well.
Those headlights are a pain to adjust, I remember seeing a thread on here not too long ago where somebody was making a write up on how to properly adjust them but I dont think its up yet. I would almost pay to know how to do that right haha.

Car looks great the way it is. Don't go overboard on appearance mods. The only things I would do is adjust the headlight covers (not difficult at all - just loosen the screws and set the right angle) and go either clear or VHT'd side markers.

Ive adjusted the covers but I need to adjust the assemnly itself. I made it better with the adjustments but I think since the guy before me wrecked it it might be a bigger issue getting them aligned properly. I need to put new gears in just havnt had time so ill check and see if I can do anything while its all apart again.

It looks great to me. Fix the lights and move on to improving other areas.

Gonna order the clear sidemarkers soon and maybe some Corsa clones Im just not sure if I wanna put em on that catback or wait til I get a different one. Like the one now but with LT's and ORY its gonna be way too loud haha. Hood pricings are outrageous so Ill have to wait for a steal...

clear sidemarkers eh? ah well lol. If it were me - tinted sidemarkers, and tails, black sailpanel and mirrors. But honestly it looks good as is(ignoring the light buckets that will be fixed of course), def do SOMETHING with the sidemarkers though lol. Time to go under the hood
