Right now I still have the stock grill. I just took it off, sanded it a little to give it some texture, sprayed some primer on it and them sprayed it black. I did that back when I changed my bumper turn signals to the black ones, and I also had put in some black corner lenses. The front piece of my body kit I also did in black but I'm thinking if i should make it the color of the car or leave it in black. I definately saw a black mesh grill on ebay for less than 30 bucks that I wanna get for my car (but I keep putting the money into other things for my car). Right now I have 18's wrapped in 225/40 tires. It definately looks sweet. If you like your car more for racing it, maybe go for some 17s (Little less weight.) I like my car to be something between a show car and for race so I went for the 18s. The problem that I'm having with these wheels right now is that I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the camber kit installed, and bring the front down lower without it rubbing. Thats why the front of my car is sitting a little high. The back is dropped though, and I've just been lazy to adjust the coilovers in the front and test if it will rub. I think the car looks aggressive with the black lights like that, and my girl says that my car looks sweet as hell when I'm driving up behind her with the Halos and fog lights on. Now I just gotta go out to a parking lot one of these nights and adjust the headlights. I'll do it once I get past this damn flu though.

Right now I have on a Xenon body kit. They are a bit expensive but they are damn worth the money. I know you can find much cheaper body kits, but I wouldn't be able to tell you their quality. I've been thinking about changing my whole front bumper, and if i do then I would definately spend the extra cash and go with a front bumper from them. The kit is urethane plastic, not cheap fiberglass. Did you seal up your headlights before installing them? I didn't seal mine up, and I get a little fogging up when I turn off the lights and its cool outside, which you can understand if you have ever put your hand in fron of the lights and seen how hot the light is. I've been wondering if it would be better to seal them, or leave them like that so that they have a little better ventilation.

Yes urethane I had big mouth(fiberglass) on my old 95 integ I hated having fiberglass. I would love to get a type-r style front lip

I have 17's on mine with 205/45/17 I love it rims are big enough and only weigh 17lbs

18's would be dope but then I would rub hella hard with car being so low

Wes, how much of a drop do you have on yours?

Right now my back is only like a little over an inch drop and it's just right, I would say that I would bring the front down this weekend, but Saturday I'm going out to the track with a bunch of friends who are running mustangs so I know I wont have time to work on my car.

You can search for body kits, there are plenty of places that sell the parts seperately, you don't have to buy the entire kit. The rear piece is nice too though. It has an oval shape cut out for the tail pipe, so I put one of those oval shape tips on my exhaust and it looks sweet. I remember once looking in a site and saw that they had Xenon body kits that they sold them by the part. My kit is over a year old so I don't remember where it came from. The material is great... Even after ripping it off on a steep slope and running over it, all it took was a little sanding, some sunlight to give the lip shape again after it had been sitting in my trunk for a couple of months, some primer, black spray paint, and a couple of big washers to put it back in. That was when I painted it black and went for the black housings. Don't try running over a fiberglass body kit and expect to get it back on your car... ever again.

As to the headlights, if anything, I would just loosen the bumper and the headlights and seal them as best I could right in place, let them dry and then just tighten everything back up. No way i want to take that all apart again any time soon. The fog clears up once the lights are turned on cuz they get so hot, but still it looks a little bad when they are off and its all fogged up, specially because of the black housing, it makes the fog stand out more. I been looking at bulbs on ebay. I gotta get the H1 and H3 bulbs. My friend that was helping me install the headlights said I should just leave the amber bulbs on the sides, and i kinda like it better than with one of those little blue buls actually. The amber bulb lights up better than the blue ones, so it looks brighter. If I ever find the black housing rear markers then I'll change the amber bulb on the headlight, but for now it looks good like that. As long as I dont see water start building up inside the headlight I'm alright with it. It might even be better to prevent things from starting to melt from too much heat in the headlight if it was sealed up. I've had my tail lights over a year now and never had problems with leaking. I've been thinking about hooking up the Halos to my alarm. Either just one on the driver side, or the outside two. Don't know if I wanna persue that yet though.

ok... enough typing... back to work.
